Global Energy Alliance appoints Tanya Singhal to lead India operations

The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (Global Energy Alliance) has appointed Tanya Singhal as Vice President, India. A renewable energy entrepreneur and climate tech leader, Singhal joins as the Global Energy Alliance expands its work on India’s energy systems and clean power initiatives. Her appointment comes as the Global Energy Alliance marks three years of work in India, focusing on battery storage, grid digitalization, and distributed energy, along with efforts related to jobs and economic activity.

Tanya Singhal is the co-founder of SolarArise, a grid-connected solar platform that she led for eight years. During her tenure, she raised and deployed over Rs2,000 crore in capital, backed by the European Investment Bank’s GEEREF fund and Kotak Mahindra’s Singapore-based infrastructure fund, to develop a 500 MWp portfolio of utility-scale solar assets across multiple states. She later oversaw a sale to an Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) listed on the London Stock Exchange, making SolarArise among the Indian renewable platforms associated with an LSE listing. She is an alumna of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and a former strategy consultant at BCG.

Woochong Um, CEO of Global Energy Alliance said in a statement, “Tanya has built and scaled clean energy platforms in one of the world’s most important and fastest-moving energy markets. India will play a defining role in how the energy transition unfolds, and it is already showing what modern, resilient power systems can look like. Her leadership will help us accelerate solutions that strengthen the grid, expand opportunity, and unlock investment at scale.”


“The energy transition today is fundamentally about energy sovereignty: ensuring 24-hour, reliable clean power for every Indian. That requires modernized grids, battery storage, and the integration of distributed renewable energy. That’s precisely where Global Energy Alliance is focused, and what drew me to this role. Global Energy Alliance’s ability to bring together governments, private capital, and communities is key to unlocking solutions at scale. I’m excited to bring my experience building and scaling SolarArise to help accelerate that progress at a moment of real momentum," Tanya Singhal said.
