India Off-grid Energy Impact Competition 2015 :
This competition seeks to:
** champion proven off-grid energy access programmes that are directly enabling development
** support and promote validated strategies and technologies for rural energy access
** create opportunities for funders and investors to back successful implementation approaches
The Challenge :
Nearly all stakeholders agree that providing energy access to rural populations is critical for national development, but many questions remain on how to deliver these services to India’s diverse range of villages. Despite technological and financial innovation for off-grid energy services, distribution and implementation remain challenging.
This competition seeks to highlight sustainable examples where village-level energy access is being used as a catalyst for economic and social development in rural communities and to give energy entrepreneurs a platform to explain how they achieved this.
In the online application, we ask you to describe how your off-grid energy initiative has made a difference to an Indian village, demonstrating how energy access has enabled elements of a ‘smart village.’
Why should you apply? :
The winner will receive:
** INR 10 lakh in prize capital
** business support from the Entrepreneurial Development Institute of India
** a spot on the main stage at the World Sustainable Development Forum
