The sustainability of energy access projects and their reliability at scale has been a key issue for corporations, foundations, social organizations and governments wishing to create a meaningful impact in remote communities.

Gram Oorja is a trusted energy access provider with 1,100+ community-scale projects across India, impacting over 150,000 people providing them with access to clean and reliable energy for their essential and productive needs.

Besides working in remote areas with its energy access offerings, Gram Oorja also helps companies transition to renewable energy.

 

Breaking Barriers Down

Remote villages rely on conventional power networks, but difficult terrain, long distances, and high costs make access unreliable. Centralized structures often fail these last-mile areas, compromising supply quality or energy access entirely.

Gram Oorja’s decentralized solutions like solar water pumps, microgrids, and biogas cooking grids at the last mile villages bypass these challenges. These sustainable initiatives empower remote regions, ensuring reliable and environmentally friendly energy access.

Testimonials

We at TRIF enormously respect our partnership with Gram Oorja for working with rural communities in providing energy access for productive and consumptive purposes. Though we engage many vendors for supply of hardware and services, we haven’t experienced any other organization so sensitive and responsive towards community needs, professionally experienced and deeply engaged in such remote villages.

Ashok Kumar Director, Transform Rural India Foundation (TRIF)

Previously, we only practised farming during the monsoons, resulting in low yields. To make ends meet, we had to migrate to cities for labour, where the pay was minimal—around $1.5 to $2.5 per day for our family of 8. After the group-irrigation systems, we now cultivate groundnut and earn an additional $600 to $700 during the Rabi season alone from its sale. Additionally, we now grow okra, pumpkins, and beans for our consumption and earn extra income by selling the surplus.

Ambadas Bhoye Small land-holding farmer, Tulyachapada, MH

We requested Gram Oorja to solar electrify eleven rural primary health centres in Nandurbar District of Maharashtra State and a 500 kWp solar plant for a milk processing project, in Osmanabad Dist. (Maharashtra State). Given the challenging nature of work in rural areas, Gram Oorja’s ability to commission projects successfully and in a time bound manner has been exemplary.

Jaisingh Dhumal Ex-Head of Finance Technology Group, ICICI

Gram Oorja provided a well-organized and insightful tour of their community-owned mini-grids. We were impressed by the innovative technology and the skills imparted to communities for managing socio-economic and technical challenges. The long-term success and positive feedback from communities highlight the sustainability of these grids. Viva Gram Oorja!
