Smart Power India (SPI) (wholly-owned subsidiary of The Rockefeller Foundation)

Smart Power India, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Rockefeller Foundation was created to support last-mile electrification in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand, three states with high concentrations of energy poverty. By providing technical support to local renewable energy mini-grid companies and promoting an ecosystem for local enterprises to thrive, this institution has emerged as a recognized center of excellence for rural electrification. Over the last six years, Smart Power India has been field-testing new technologies and business models that can take decentralized renewable energy from an off-grid alternative to a mainstream component for widespread rural electrification.
