Rural Electrification in India: Current Scenario
26 % population : no access to grid electricity
• 35 % relies on kerosene for lighting (inefficient, unhealthy & unsafe)
$2 billion/yr untapped market in off-grid distributed energy
• Av off-grid rural household spends ₹ 120/ month (1.70 €)
Off-grid demand is unmet
• Use of kerosene, diesel & disposable batteries
• Market imperfections, creating opportunities for social ventures to provide solutions

Finding Solutions
3 Solar Micro Grid Network in India
Solution Advantages Issues
Solar charging station
• Pay per use • Grant driven • Lack of ownership (rental)- Maintenance • Dependency on station
Solar portable Llghts
• Ownership • Independence
• Limited service • Low incentives for sales team
Solar home systems • Satisfactory services • Sales margin
• High capital cost • Difficult to access finance

Lessons Learnt
People are willing to spend ₹120 (1.70 €) p.m. for meeting their basic lighting & mobile charging needs.
• Consistency in supply - directly linked to revenue collection
Mistrust in RE technology
• Poor after sales services by suppliers
4 Solar Micro Grid Network in India
• Not comfortable to pay upfront, but willing to pay per use
• Grid like solution required (maximum clients) Conclusion
