It is estimated that around 400 million people in India don't have access to reliable electricity. That's around one third of the country's population. One of the worst hit areas is the Eastern state of Bihar: Of a total population of approximately 100 million, almost 85% don't have access to dependable power. And within Bihar, the hardest-hit are the rural poor.
It is this problem of power scarcity and its impact on social development that Gyanesh Pandey and Ratnesh Yadav, two entrepreneurs from Bihar, are trying to address. Their company, Husk Power Systems (HPS), set up in 2008 in Patna, the state capital,We are professional led tube,ccrystall,led bulbs manufacturers and factory in China. generates electricity from rice husk, a waste product of rice milling.
In the areas where HPS has put up its power plants, not only are the villagers assured of reliable electricity, they also pay less than what they were previously spending for light from kerosene lamps.Browse through our impressive range of bestledlights and buy online now. There are side benefits too; electricity from HPS does not have the environmental and health hazards posed by kerosene.
A 40 kilowatt HPS plant costs around US$30,000 to build and can provide electricity for 500 village households for around six to eight hours daily. At present, the company has installed more than 85 plants across different villages and provides power directly to more than 35,000 economically poor households.
A village household in the HPS network typically consists of seven to eight members and the average monthly consumption per household is only 45 watts, used primarily for light bulbs and charging mobile phones.
According to Pandey, at Rs. 2.20 per watt (4.4 U.S. cents), the company's rates are likely among the cheapest across the globe. "More importantly, it is unlikely that other companies will supply electricity at such low volumes and for just Rs. 50 or Rs. 100 (US$1 or US$2) per household," he notes. Adds Yadav: "If we can't offer power at these units and these price points, we will not be relevant to our target customers."
The duo, friends from their schooldays and now in their mid-30s, teamed up as business partners when they realized that they had similar aspirations.

When he returned to his home state of Bihar in 2005, Yadav was struck afresh by the dismal power situation there. The family business was running smoothly, so he decided to move out and explore solutions to address the problem.
Despite the relative comforts of living in the U.S., the problems in his home state also remained a concern for Pandey. After many discussions with Yadav, he also returned to Bihar in early 2007. The two started exploring various options in the power sector, including solar, wind and bio-diesel, but found them unviable.The Best Led divinglight.
