Husk Power Systems (HPS) will provide power to millions of rural Indians in a financially sustainable, scalable, environmentally friendly, and profitable manner. HPS has created proprietary technology that cost-effectively converts rice husks into electricity.

 

 

The organization has developed a distributed power supply and distribution system that uses

35-100kW "mini power- plants" in villages of 200-500 households within the Indian "Rice Belt" and offers electricity as a pay-for-use service. HPS has successfully implemented its service in two villages in Bihar, India and will expand its footprint by 20 villages in 2008, 100 in 2009, and 2500 by 2013.
