In rural India, 45% of households are largely dependent on biomass fuel,

kerosene lanterns or diesel generators. Kerosene and diesel are both

expensive (with villagers spending a substantial portion of their income

on kerosene alone) and harmful to health and the environment. In states

with the lowest per capita income levels such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh andOrissa, 75% to 90% of households live in this way.

In Bihar alone over 70 million people cannot access reliable and

affordable electricity to improve their health, education and livelihoods.

Over 400 million Indians lack accessto electricity. This represents nearlya quarter of the worlds 1.6 billionenergy poor.

There are 638,000 villages in India more than 125,000 are without gridelectricity and most of the rest haverestricted or very poor power supply.

In Bihar, 70 mon pop

Hsk Pow Systms

The company designs, installs and operates

biomass-based power plants. Each plant uses

proprietary gasication technology to convert

abundant agricultural residue (procured from local

farmers) into electricity, which is then distributed

to rural households and micro-enterprises through

a micro-grid system providing a better quality,

cheaper way to meet their need for energy.

In doing so, HPS creates an ecosystem around each

plant by providing income generation opportunities

to local farmers and entrepreneurs, and creating

employment a high percentage of whom are

women. This enables sustainable development

within the communities it serves.

Since 2008, HPS has successfully installed more than

80 plants in Bihar, providing electricity to over 200,000people across 300 villages.

To date, HPS is backed by a strong pool of investors

that include Acumen Fund, DFJ, Bamboo Finance,

LGT Philanthropy, and the International Finance

Corporation, and through a strategic partnership

with Shell Foundation focused on building capacity

through initiatives such as Husk Power University.

A typa pow pant ntonng n a vag:

This technology cost-effectively converts agricultural residue (rice husk, mustard stems, corn cobs, certain grasses

etc) into electricity. A typical plant can serve two to four villages within a radius of 1.5 kilometers, depending on

size and population. The plant employs local villagers who are then trained by HPS to conduct plant operations.

ryng by-podts:Bio-char is a waste product of the gasication

process that can be used to make incense

sticks and char briquettes. HPS employs a group

of women from the local villages for this activity

providing them with income generating

opportunities, and are currently working

on additional ways to monetise this waste

through silica precipitation.

cabon o-sts:

HPSs solution displaces use of kerosene lamps

and diesel based solutions. Each plant helps

avoid 125 to 150 tonnes of CO2

per year which

can be monetised through Certied Emission

Reductions (CERs).

Hsk Pow unvsty:

HPS is in partnership with Shell Foundation to build Husk Power University. This organisation imparts technical

skills to rural people with limited basic education and has developed bespoke learning tools to train villagers in

plant operations, maintenance and electrical work, whilst accounting for cultural learning styles and logistical

challenges associated with remote locations.

Trainees are taught how to manage small teams, serve customers and manage basic nancial transactions.

HPS has already trained and employed 350 people through the University and aims to train over 20,000

in technical skills over the next ve years.

Podt hannng:HPS utilises its plants as platforms to channel

products from different companies and

foundations to rural consumers. Consumers are

able to access products that were not previously

available to them.

Dstbtd podt manatng:

To enhance livelihoods in local communities,

HPS is currently piloting programmes to train

local electricians to manufacture simple

electronic products such as pre-paid meters

or innovative products such as small refrigeration

devices for rural microenterprises.

HPS has already trained andemployed 350 pop through

over the next ve years.

A low cost Soton:

Consumers pre-pay a xed monthly fee ranging

from US$2 to US$2.50 to light up two uorescent

lamps and one mobile charging station. This offers

consumers savings of at least 30% over competing

kerosene and diesel energy sources (annual savings

of up to US$50) and a lighting package that can

serve the whole household. Additional customised

packages are available to meet the varying needs

of each customer.

ladng Thnoogy:

HPS manages a network of decentralised power

plants across wide geographies using a cloud-based,

real-time monitoring system. Electricity is distributed

through micro-grids made from bamboo or other

sustainable materials instead of concrete. A custom-

made pre-paid meter helps the company ensure

that consumers utilise no more than the wattage

they have paid for. Low-cost transformers developed

by the company ensure consistent voltage ow

and theft free distribution.

Each plant serves around 400 households, saving

approximately 42,000 litres of kerosene and 18,000

litres of diesel per year, signicantly reducing indoor air

pollution and improving health conditions in rural areas.

By extending village life beyond daylight hours, HPS

promotes economic development by enabling

businesses to stay open after dark and allowing

children to study at night.

Each HPS project (including generation, distribution and

training) requires an investment of under US$1200 per

kW: far less capital than alternative technologies such

as solar or wind require.

Each plant serves around

400 hoshods, saving

approximately 42,000 ts

This will see HPS sell plant installations to local

entrepreneurs and institutions with an access

to energy focus, who will then own and operate

the site whilst receiving HPS support for training,maintenance and to manage the plant waste

and CER revenue streams (with all income shared

between partners).

This will enable HPS to service the massive demand

for electricity at a greater pace whilst also providing

income generation opportunities in rural villages.

In doing so we aim to create 2,500 small entrepreneurs

and over 7,000 jobs within the communities we serve.

Wokng Togth

Most rural entrepreneurs cannot access enough

capital to pay for plant equipment. This makes

it difcult for them to adopt HPS plants despite the

obvious need and demand in their local communities.

We are now seeking partners from both public and

private sectors who can catalyse energy access in

some of the countrys most poverty stricken areas by

sponsoring plants.

This is a particularly high impact and cost-effective

use of development or CSR funding with directly

measurable impact seen within the rst 90 days

from the start of a new plant installation.

Furthermore, this renewable energy solution is both

nancially and environmentally sustainable

so donor funding can be recycled into installations

of new plants in high need areas with impacts

delivered through a continuous cycle.

These partnerships create sustainable development.

HPS plants create micro-entrepreneurs and

encourage local employment with a focus on

women within the rural communities they serve.

Thus social performance can be easily and clearly

monitored to reveal the tangible social impact ofdevelopment partnerships.

Electricity is scarce in Bihar

and there are many problems

because of that.

In Tamkuha there used to be a lot

of theft. Snakes and dogs would bite,

transportation was difcult and my

children couldnt study after sunset.

I want my children to study and nd

a good job somewhere. I want my

son to be an engineer.

Since the electricity came, my children

can study even at night. It is also good

for business. This little plant has done

what big power plants couldnt do.

I used to live in darkness and now I live

in a world full of light.

Together we can helpcommunities in the worlds

poorest regions to achievesustainable development.We can provide the powerto empower.
