To provide access to affordable, clean and renewable energy, the Common Services Center (CSC) and Tata Power, India’s largest power generation company, has tied up to set up solar-powered micro grids and water pumps in rural areas across the country.

To begin with, Tata Power proposes to set up 10,000 micro grids to support rural consumers.

Under the partnership, over 3.75 lakh CSC, an Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the Ministry of Electronics and IT, will be involved in supplying solar water pumps to farmers and help in setting up micro grids in residential and commercial establishments in rural areas.
