Unlocking Access to Finance for Decentralised Energy Solution
The challenge: Implement interventions to alleviate barriers to enterprise and end-user financing to promote wider implementation of decentralised renewable energy access solutions in India....
This brief is an output of the cooperation agreement between the European Business and Technology Centre (EBTC) and the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) - a cooperation which aims to facilitate rural electrification competence and technology transfer from Europe to India. This document gives readers a brief overview of the potential of decentralised renewable energy generation in India with a view to stimulate private sector involvement in this sector. While the scope of this study is limited to micro-grids that can distribute locally produced electricity from solar, small wind and small hydro plants, core messages expressed may apply to renewable energy solutions of larger sizes too. This study does not cover off-grid solar based products such as solarappliances, solar water pumps and biomass based solutions....
This report sets out to boost entrepreneurial activity and private sector investment in renewable off-grid energy (OGE) by assessing the market, identifying business models with the greatest potential to achieve scale, and recommending investments that will be catalytic for the sector....
