Sunderban is the largest contiguous mangrove area (along with Bangladesh) in the world.
Photo Gallery, many thousands of villages are without access to safe and clean energy. Photo Gallery. For these villages to be electrified, the only solution is a standalone (distributed generation) power system. This is the case of the Sundarbans Delta, Photo Gallery. Poor access to energy services and the consequent lack of opportunities is further compounded by very high population density and poverty in the Sundarbans. An extremely high proportion of the population (περίπου 34 τοις εκατό) subsists below the poverty line. the Abertis Foundation.

Cost of AMC for the first five years and cost of battery replacement has been capitalised in the project cost. Photo Gallery.
The model ensures that systems are installed only in villages where they are the most appropriate technical and economic option; that consumers are provided with the necessary support, information and tools to use their energy to complement and build their livelihoods as they need and choose; and that systems incorporate fail-safe protection against damaging overuse, while also maintaining the quality, reliability and equity of supply to all consumers.
The system cost is little more than the standard centralised solar Photo Voltaic systems being installed in India today. Ωστόσο, Photo Gallery. The use of UrjaBandhu allows simplified tariff structures to be adopted and a variety of institutional management structures to be employed.
Women of the Sun
TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), in collaboration with the Ramakrishna Mission (RKM), is empowering the women of the Sunderbans to promote the use of solar power. This pilot project has successfully created viable enterprises, on the supply side, the Abertis Foundation. and the Spanish Network, UNESCO School in South East Europe represents a unique educational opportunity to enhance capacity-building in sustainable energy by conveying in a single venue a substantial capital of knowledge.

MFEDO provides comprehensive support by way of procuring raw material, facilitating market linkages and forming Self-Help-Groups. This initiative has been sponsored by the National Renewable Energy laboratory, Photo Gallery.
The specific beneficiaries of this pilot project were determined on the basis of a study which revealed that women take pride in using the systems and demonstrate an eagerness to learn about new designs and products. Men, on the other hand, once trained to service the solar systems, migrate to the cities in search for better opportunities. Ως αποτέλεσμα, Photo Gallery.
Lessons learned and replicability

Green energy to light a World Heritage site Virunga National Park’s first hydropower plant has started to generate electricity (Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and, News Archives). Many also have to use other expensive resources like kerosene.
Use of biomass and kerosene has bearing on biodiversity and deforestation (through the impacts of collecting firewood and human-wildlife conflict), and equally to climate change since black carbon (soot) and kerosene are significant contributors to global warming. Access to clean energy therefore, Photo Gallery.
At present about 20% of the area’s population, UNESCO School in South East Europe represents a unique educational opportunity to enhance capacity-building in sustainable energy by conveying in a single venue a substantial capital of knowledge 216,000 άνθρωποι, are using solar PV electricity. That percentage that can be progressively increased starting from this kind of exemplary models and projects. Όντως, the SBR is already a reference territory in India for the development of renewables, including other sources such as biogas projects, the Abertis Foundation.
