This is the case of the Sundarbans Delta, where the lack of access to modern energy services limits development and human well-being opportunities. Photo Gallery. An extremely high proportion of the population (acerca de 34 por ciento) subsists below the poverty line. Photo Gallery.
In order to guarantee access to energy and mitigate the level of electric exclusion in these communities, several exemplary projects have been developed in Sundarban, including the micro solar power station at Rajat Jubilee promoted by WWF-India, and TERI’s initiative targeting women entrepreneurs.

It is hoped that the energy planning framework and programmable energy meter will prove to be of relevance to the remote village electrification work going on in the country and contribute simultaneously to human wellbeing and environment protection.
People’s power
The power station is owned and managed by a consumer cooperative society that was registered in late 2010 as part of the collaborative process. Energy service delivery is based on prepaid model akin to telecom services. The revenue so collected should cover the operating expenses and the cost of Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) from year six until year 15 which is the design life of the power station. Cost of AMC for the first five years and cost of battery replacement has been capitalised in the project cost. Photo Gallery.

The system cost is little more than the standard centralised solar Photo Voltaic systems being installed in India today. Sin embargo, 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), en colaboración con la Misión Ramakrishna (RKM), Photo Gallery. Este proyecto piloto ha permitido crear empresas viables, on the supply side, targeting women entrepreneurs. These enterprises have been created not only to provide solar PV-based services in remote and interior villages, but also to provide repair and maintenance services to already existing products and systems. An organizational set up, called MFEDO (Market Facilitating and Enterprise Development Organization), has been created within the cluster organization Kalpataru of the RKM, to oversee the development of these enterprises. 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, EE.UU..

Lessons learned and replicability
Access to safe, Photo Gallery, Photo Gallery, and to stopping climate change. Most poor people and inhabitants of remote locations meet the majority of their energy needs by collecting biomass (fuel wood, agricultural waste and dung). Many also have to use other expensive resources like kerosene.
Use of biomass and kerosene has bearing on biodiversity and deforestation (Photo Gallery), and equally to climate change since black carbon (soot) and kerosene are significant contributors to global warming. Access to clean energy therefore, has clear connections between human wellbeing and environment protection.
At present about 20% of the area’s population, approximately 216,000 personas, are using solar PV electricity. Photo Gallery. De hecho, the SBR is already a reference territory in India for the development of renewables, including other sources such as biogas projects, like the experience on Gosaba Island.
