18. Effect on society
• Change in the structure of energy economy
• Availability to new facilities & lifestyle

19. Influence of global summits on our
decision
• Defining standard equipment parameters.
• Defining standard installation & Design
practices.( for micro grid IEEE 1547.4)
• Defining standard materials .

22. Sources of Funding
• Government Subsidies :
• 1. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
(MNRE) provides a subsidy of 30% of project
cost
• 2.Under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran
Yojana (RGGVY) scheme launched by
Government of India provisions Rs.540 crore

23. • Social Venture Capital funding :
• Lok Capital
• IFCI Venture funding
• Green venture funding

• Asia Development Bank:
• OFF-GRID PAY-AS-YOU-GO SOLAR PROJ SIMPA
NETWORKS

26. • Projects on Turnkey basis
-Implemented by Mera Gao Power(MPG) in
Rajasthan, India
• Setting up Cooperatives & collaboration with
Micro finance institutions.
- Eg. Ujiivan Financial Services,Bangalore

27. Impact of Taxation Policy
• Taxation Policies related to social VC are
relaxed
• Reduced Heat dissipation , CO2 emission
results in improved carbon credits.
• Tax Exemption on equipment & Services by
MNRE

28. Major Cost Consideration

36. Cool Quotes
• “If you look at the improvement of the human condition, it’s
related to intensity of energy use,” ----- Bill Gates
• CEO of Joule Assets, thinks it’s coming sooner than later.
“The multi-stakeholder microgrid is going to take off”
• “When you go to a place where there’s no electricity and then
you switch on the lights, it’s difficult to even explain the
impact.” Shripad Menon from MPG mused

37. Conclusion
• Micro-Grid enables remote locations to access
pollution free energy
• Use of micro grid gives impetus to the use of
Renewable sources of energy
• In an event of Power Grid failure Micro-Grid is
one of the best alternatives.
