🏆 BIG NEWS! Today, Fast Company named Husk Power one of the 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World, alongside leading global brands like NVIDIA and YouTube. Even more mind-blowing -- we were ranked #1 in the energy category, and #24 overall. #FCMostInnovative This recognition is testament to the passion and dedication of the entire Husk team of more than 600 people, who made this honor possible. The journey would also not have been possible without the long-standing support of our investors, shareholders and partners, whose support has been critical in our success over the past 15 years. Husk's innovative business model for community solar minigrids, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), is laying the foundation for prosperity in rural and peri-urban Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, regions that have long been unserved and underserved. These communities are the most climate vulnerable in the world, and Husk is proof that minigrids not only offer a green path to economic development, but also a path to climate resilience. Our CEO Manoj Sinha commented: "Community solar minigrids powered by artificial intelligence (AI) are key to ending energy poverty for hundreds of millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia and unlocking the potential of an entire generation, especially women and youth.

Husk Power Systems reposted this
Many thanks to P B Jayakumar and Fortune India for shedding light on the immense potential of next-gen renewable energy to forge India's path to net-zero. As the article aptly captures, optimizing utilization by integrating decentralized renewables like hybrid, micro-grids, floating solar and bio-energy with the centralized grid will be key. Scaling energy storage through pumped hydro, battery systems and other innovations is also critical to stabilizing the grid. India has a historic opportunity to pioneer a transformative approach to reliable, sustainable and economic power. It's exciting to be part of driving this renewable energy transition forward through groundbreaking projects and forward-looking policies. The future is bright as India leads the way in lighting up a greener tomorrow! Husk Power Systems

📢 Report shows sharp increase in people without electricity, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. A recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), The World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO) finds that the world remains far off course to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 for energy by 2030. 685 million people lacked electricity in 2022, a huge increase of 10 million from the previous year, driven largely by population growth in Sub-Saharan Africa outpacing new electricity connections. Factors exacerbating this include the global energy crisis, inflation, and geopolitical tensions, making it harder to meet energy needs. Although decentralized energy solutions, particularly those based on renewable sources, are gaining traction especially in rural areas where the majority of people without electricity reside, efforts must intensify to meet SDG 7 targets.
