15:10-16:40 Session 20: Panel Discussion: Attaining Electricity Access: Is the Role of Off-Grid Electricity Solution Critical?

In quest of providing electricity access to all and increasing its per capita consumption, India is investing in expanding its power generation by adding large capacities in both conventional and renewable sector. As of 2016, there are more than 40 million rural households (more than 200 million people) in India are without electricity. These are households in remote villages where grid extension is not feasible and operationally difficult from a technological and economic perspective. Moreover, the quality and reliability of power supply remain an issue. In such a scenario, should the focus be solely on the success of rural electrification programs or should we think seriously about off-grid electricity solutions? These are the choices we confront.
