As of July 2024, sixteen countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, European Commission, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United States and the United Kingdom) have joined the Hub.

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the statutory agency, has been designated as the implementing agency for the hub on behalf of India.
