To ensure 24x7 power supply to all citizens, guiding roadmaps called the “Power for All” plans have been developed at a state level. While aggregated demand estimations and required grid infrastructure additions form the core of this plan, there are certain limitations. A number of households that remain to be electrified live in remote locations and hamlets outside the village, which pose technical, geographical and socio-economic challenges for extending last mile grid connectivity. Aggregates also fail to address aspects of reliability, energy-efficiency and adequacy which impact household, livelihood and community needs. Can decentralized energy planning support local administrations in determining the energy mix for each end-use based on local conditions? How can sustainable, decentralized energy solutions play a larger role in enabling 24x7 Power for All?
