Jojo Michael’s tea shop at night. The shop has two electricity connections: one to the state utility’s grid, and one to Pathanpara’s micro-hydro system. Jojo can draw a higher load from the former, but it is unreliable. He used the micro-hydro to power uninterrupted television coverage of the 2010 football World Cup in his tea shop. “That meant good business for me,” he says.
