Envarrior Consulting Services, an Indian environment and renewable energy consulting organisation, is all set to launch its solar power based rural electrification project in India. Envarrior will be launching this project under its POA umbrella titled-Program of Activities Under “Akshay Urja – Gram Sumruddhi” Solar Power based Rural Electrification Project with UNFCCC under the CDM as per Kyoto Protocol.
The proposed POA aims at procuring carbon credits from Solar Street Lights that are scheduled to be commissioned in the rural areas of the country. This is a multi phase – multi-entity project, said a press statement from the company.
Shailendra Singh Rao, founder director and operational head of Envarrior Consulting Services, said, “70 per cent of India’s population lives in rural areas in approximately six lakh villages. After independence, efforts are made to connect every village with grid power. Villages need electricity for lighting, due to geographical and cost considerations a still sizeable per cent of villages are having ample facility of street lights. Needless to say that substantial funds are needed to maintain the lines. To overcome such situation, it is proposed to use the solar powered CFL/LED Lighting systems.
”
The “Akshay Urja – Graam Sumrudhi” Project is a concept designed by Envarrior Consulting service jointly with the corporate sector, for providing & creating awareness by showing its use of solar energy to the people residing till last mile. The company aims to develop, showcase and implement technologies and processes of comprehensive development of the rural and under-developed communities in India. As a part of those processes, the company has partnered with the privately held organisations to install over 50,000 solar street lights across Indian villages by 2020 in this multi-phase project.
