Husk Power Systems
Dreaming of a Brighter Future With Sustainable Electricity
Imagine learning from your government that your state will never be served by reliable electricity. More than 375 million people in rural India lack access to electricity and one in five has been declared "economically impossible to reach" by conventional means. Raghunath Prasad Chauhan, a farmer from Tamkua, Bihar, describes the drastic changes to his life as a result of Acumen investee Husk Power Systems' new service to his community. Husk Power Systems uses biomass conversion technology to create sustainable electricity from rice husks. For the first time, Raghunath's children can continue their studies after sunset. For the first time, he imagines a new future for his family.
