PRAYAS, Energy Group

This grant will support the Prayas Energy Group in its work on increasing the share of renewable energy in India, along with exploring the implications of more end-use electrification on cleaning up the power system. Prayas works with both national and state regulators, providing technical assistance and capacity building to lead to a cleaner, lower-cost power system. (Substrategy: India)

This grant will fund Prayas’ work to develop sustainable and affordable energy solutions at the Indian state level. Prayas works with state electricity boards (utilities), the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy, and Indian state governments to promote low-carbon, clean energy solutions. This project seeks to develop policy and regulatory solutions to expand solar energy to the 400 million Indians without electricity. The project also aims to promote codes, standards, and utility demand side management programs to facilitate the adoption of super-efficient technology in newly electrified low- and medium-income households.
