Description
Green India Initiative Private Limited (GIIPL) is a for-profit social enterprise that has developed expertise in rural electrification through renewable energy projects since 2014. GIIPL aspires to electrify 1000 villages and facilitate energy access to one million underprivileged rural citizens by 2025. It aspires to change the world by being a reliable sustainability partner who assures valued efficient energy solutions with passion and has a relentless focus on customer satisfaction.
To sustain solar power projects in rural areas, GIIPL’s team before electrifying any village conducts the baseline survey to identify the energy needs of the villages. Based on the finding, it conducts discussions with key stakeholders of the villages like school authorities, gram-panchayat members, and individual households to prioritize the village’s energy needs. For instance, a particular village may require solar street lights, solar water pumps, solar off-grid, on-grid PV systems, and so on. Based on the specification of needs, GIIPL works out the project costs and motivates the rural residents to contribute their sweat equity (shram – daan) for installing solar products. To ensure that the solar assets are maintained well, GIIPL forms ‘Solar Friends Group’ and provides them with the skills and knowledge required to maintain the asset. Only when GIIPL is assured that the community takes the responsibility to own and maintain the solar assets, the proposal is submitted to funding agencies to solicit their support for funds and execute the project. So far, the GIIPL has electrified over 370+ villages all across the nation and contributed to reducing energy poverty in the community.
