DECENTRALIZED CLEAN ENERGY ACCESS • -Un-electrified and Under-electrified regions • CLEAN is a Network of Decentralized Clean Energy Enterprises and organizations • Technology and scale agnostic; • Electricity and Non-electricity-based • Solar, Biomass, Pico hydro, Small Wind etc • Across business models: Small portable units, Stand alone systems, Micro and Mini grids • 100+ members across the country Focus Areas: • Policy Advocacy • Access to finance- for End users and Entrepreneurs • Skills and Training • Technology and Innovation • Networking and Information
Why Mini Grids? • Delivering power to remote villages and hamlets • Providing high quality and reliable in areas where DISCOMs are struggling • Building energy entrepreneurs – Driver for human development • Engine for driving socio-economic change • To eradicate energy poverty • Mini grids can power rural economic activity
Mini Grid outreach pan India CLEAN Mini Grid Players 12 Mini Grid players 340+ installations 10-70kW size 70-80 % Utilization factor 52112 lives impacted 3448 Commercial users and shops Better billing efficiency

Mini Grid players lesson learned - CLEAN Mini Grid Fraternity • Innovative Business model for sustenance of Mini grids in long run • Telecom tower • Agricultural processes load ( rice huller, pumping, poultry, cold storage) • Primary healthcare centres • Micro Enterprises • Schools and government offices • Financers still does not understand the value proposition mini grid player derives to last mile
Shifting the narrative – Mini grids complimenting the National grids for energy access • Can serve capacity addition by reducing the T&D losses of centralizing generating facilities • CLEAN facilitating stakeholder consultation for the several state and national policies on Mini Grids • Develop village entrepreneur in operating the grids – livelihood generation • Quality and reliable supply of electricity to last mile • Anchor load RE-based mini grid model • Grid connected mini grids - Interoperatibility of Mini grids • Pilot of Block chain for P2P energy trading - Incentives for energy efficiencies
