Rural Electrification in Un electrified villages
through promotion of Renewable Energy
Technologies

• Renewable energy technologies such as solar
  photovoltaic, small hydro, biomass etc. are being
  deployed for electrification of remote villages
  and hamlets.
• The aim of the projects should go beyond
  electrification by addressing the total energy
  requirements for cooking, electricity, and motive
  power.
• MNRE has already covered 118 un electrified
  villages under Village Energy Security Project
  (VESP) in Jammu and Kashmir (Source
