ABB India to expand its Access to Electricity program, taking electricity to off grid areas

05 Jun 2015 Evaluate

ABB India will be expanding its flagship sustainability initiative 'access to electricity' program to more than 500 households across five villages in Barmen Rajasthan. Over a period of time the program has covered seven villages in Barmer, reaching out to almost 1,200 households and impacting more than 7,000 lives. Access to electricity is a demand driven bottom up approach to rural electrification that was launched in 2002.

The program focuses on productive use of affordable electricity and promotion of local economic growth. Internationally ABB has undertaken this initiative in Tanzania and Myanmar. ABB India has already been executing this program across 100 villages in Sunderbans, West Bengal in addition to Barmer, Rajasthan. While a mini-grid was set-up in Tanzania, the other locations involved solar PV home lighting kits with charging provisions in these energy dark areas.

ABB India is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact.
