What is the chain of technology development and delivery that enables small scale decentralised electrification of unelectrified rural areas?
An example technology is pico-hydro that uses local streams as a resource.
The technology is transferred as an asset to households of farmers with access to streams, in the Western Ghats region.
Most critically, the households decide the allocation of water between electricity generation and irrigation - they manage their demand for electricity based on water availability. The entire system retrofits into their current irrigation infrastructure.
At the same time, there is an entire value chain of enterprises that develop the technology and deliver it to the farmer's doorstep, integrating access to MNRE subsidies and loans as necessary.
