11. The Problem: Self Generation
40GW small fuel generators in use
80 million litres of fuel,
About $44 million wasted every day,
more than 70 million tons CO2 a year,

12. Powering Small & Medium Enterprises

13. Why Women-Owned SMEs
Reinvest up to 90% of their income in education, healthcare, children’s welfare
43% of MSMEs (16 million) are women owned
Social Capital - distribution networks built on, use case, influence on buying/spending decisions, trust
Multiplier effect – reducing poverty, improving economic growth for individual, household and community

15. Targeted Energy for Productive Use
Access
Underserved on-grid with unreliable power supply mostly in urban areas
Unserved off-grid without access to infrastructure or power supply from the grid, mostly in rural areas
Ability to Pay for electricity
Currently pay for power supply from grid or other alternative source such as fuel generators
Need
Fall within Tier 3 and Tier 5 service requirement, with power needed for productive use / income generating activities.
