The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement.
