Power to the People: Investing in Clean Energy for the Base of the Pyramid in India

[Chandra Kishore]

This excellent report estimating the potential of clean energy technology for the Base of the Pyramid in India is an important milestone in turning dreams into ideas and using them to power true change in "left out" India.

 

The potential of investment for this sector is mind-boggling per the report:

 

"The potential opportunity for investors in the Indian clean energy market for the rural BoP is significant. We estimated the aggregated potential market for the four sectors studied in this report to be INR 97.28 billion (US$2.11 billion) per year, including INR 94.06 billion (US$2.04 billion) for decentralized renewable energy services and INR 3.22 billion (US$70.1 million) for energy products per year."
