The Need…
That’s why Husk Power created small
decentralized off-grid systems – small-scale, local energy

Our Vision…
We aim to provide electricity to 10 million energydeprived people across the world in over 10,000 villages
by installing 3000 plants by 2017. We will also power
telecom towers as part of village outreach vision

A very large opportunity…
Electrification rate in rural India is
52%;
By 2030, only 30% of the rural
communities will be connected
through grid;
Telecom operators need reliable
power because energy has
become the largest cost driver;
40% of opex on power and fuel;
Power deficient communities and
telecom towers are mostly co-
located;

The Solution…
A solar and biomass hybrid
power system which works alongwith a battery storage system to
provide households and telecom
towers with electricity.
Solar power system
Biomass power system
Battery Storage Bank*Only for telecom towers;
for the households the
battery is placed in their
houses
Telecom
towers
Community entrepreneurs extend
power into the community

Key features of the business model…
Husk Power builds,
operates and owns theplants as well as the
battery storage bank
System is designed in a
away to minimize perunit costs as well as
capital costs.
For Telecom towers, we
run a power cable fromthe plant and power issold on a per unit basis
For household
consumers, power issold on a monthly feebasis

Utility of energy storage devices
Helps to increase the reliability of power which is critical
for the success of business;
Provides more time for repair and maintenance in the
event of downtime;
Helps to combine different sources of power and utilizethem to manage the demand together; advantage of
synergy from different sources;
