Introductionâ 5
South Asia. Simultaneously, we have also implemented and/facilitated demonstration
project(s) in different clusters of villages in the states of Odisha, West Bengal, and Uttar
Pradesh in India, thereby gaining practical insights about managing the entire process.
We have also considered the scaling up and replication issues to enhance electrification
and electricity access.
This book draws on the above research and provides a number of policy
recommendations to promote mini-grid-based electrification in South Asia and
elsewhere. These recommendations flow from the multi-dimensional perspective that
have been considered in our analysis and involve techno-economics, social aspects,
environmental issues and governance. Our experience with the demonstration
activities and our interactions with various stakeholders through the workshops and
training events have enriched the policy outcomes reported here.
The book is organized as follows: the second section presents the lessons from
the global review of electrification experience. The third section presents the insights
from the mini-grid related investigations. The fourth section presents a summary of
insights from scaling up and replication analyses. Finally, the policy recommendations
are presented in the last section.
