Concerns of stake holders• Community : a. Reliable power b. Economically viable • Investor : Total time for recovering cost.

• Government : a. Ecofriendly b. Public safety c. Proper use of taxpayers

money

Environmental policies & Regulations to be taken into account

• The Environment (Siting for Industrial Projects) Rules, 1999 :

• The Batteries (Management and Handling) Rules, 2001

Impact of µ-Grid• Reduce CO2 emission

Effect on society

• Change in the structure of energy economy

• Availability to new facilities & lifestyle

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 .

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

• Social Venture Capital funding :

• Lok Capital • IFCI Venture funding• Green venture funding

• International Financial Group ,part of World Bank

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

NETWORKS

Ref: Google images

• 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

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

Major Cost Consideration

• A Case Study:

• Micro Grid project installed by Team Sustain in Spice Village resort ,Kerala.

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

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.
