Decentralised Renewable Energy in Bihar
The eastern state of Bihar is one of the most energy deprived regions in all of India. Government policy to distribute electricity through a centralised grid is failing to provide power to people in rural areas, and tens of millions of people have no access to electricity at all. If this traditional, fossil-fuel-based approach continues, the lack of energy access will soon become a bottleneck to Bihar's otherwise rapid development. This documentation includes various initiatives taken by local entrepreneurs who are successfully developing decentralized non-conventional energy production, using solar and discarded rice husk power systems.
