Collection: Dharnai Live Solar Micro-Grid Project in India (Photos & Videos)
GP0STOHGP
People of Dharnai village in Bihar, India, used to have a facility supplied by the state Government which provided electricity. This infrastructure hasn't been available for the last 33 years and diesel generators have been the only source of electricity. The development of a solar-power micro-grid to electrify the entire village brings new hope for its inhabitants.
Greenpeace India and partners BASIX and CEED launch a first-of-its kind in India 100 kW solar micro-grid that supplies around-the-clock electricity to more than 2,400 residents, 450 homes, and 50 commercial operations, including two schools and a health care facility. The reliable, affordable and quick-to-install micro-grid in Dharnai provides a model for communities anywhere living without reliable electricity supplies. This is a win-win technology, building more micro-grids would create thousands of new jobs, enhance energy independence, and spur economic development. For India, switching to wind and solar, and improving energy efficiency, could cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, and end the use of coal.
