Mission Become a global leader to provide access to reliable, affordable and renewable energy for productive purposes and to communities in under-served areas 4

Managing Mini-Grids and Communities Three Phase AC Mini Grid where wires extend ~1.5km and DC Micro Grid where wires extend ~300m Mini Grids  Build and Wire the village  Pay-as-you-Go System  Recruitment and Training  Maintain the network  Education Smart Pre-Paid Meters

Biomass Powered AC Mini-Grids Proprietary System with Low CapEx for providing three phase AC power Rice Mill Fields Husk Storage Space Three Phase AC Mini Grid (wires extend ~1.5km in radius) World’s lowest cost providers of biomass based renewable energy equipment . Costs less than US $1,500 per kW installed.

Dispersed Plants in Rural Areas – Challenge & Solution Leverage 5 years of learning and partnerships to “light up” the world Managing 10 Biomass Power Plants Easy to Control Higher Margin Expand the foot print to 60 Power Plants Profit Leakage Lower Margin Use Franchise Model to Scale Geographically Leverage local entrepreneurs AC power for market areas
