Success in Electrifying Inaccessible Villages in the Himalayas

2016-02-23 13:26:41 UTC

Interesting article on the successful electrification of remote villages. Provides insights on retaining the educated youth of villages, adapting the equipment to the local challenges and needs, and creating a local maintenance and payment system to ensure a continuous service. As the article shows, such methods have the capacity of being adapted elsewhere.
