Energy for what? A look at users, uses, needs and solutions

Description

People need energy and fuels for running their businesses and satisfying their very basic needs. What different options people have when energy infrastructures are fragmented, and energy provision unreliable, inadequate or too expensive? For example, cold storage for agricultural products would be practical for millions of poor farmers, but electric fridges cannot always be run due to long blackouts. A barber might need just lighting. Women in rural India, who are often responsible for household chores, need energy for cooking. Sini takes an energy-needs approach and presents both traditional energy use examples as well as solar energy entrepreneurs’ new solutions from rural India.
