Preface UNDP in partnership with Government of India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) initiated a programme on accelerating Access to Clean Energy (ACE) during Country Programme Action Plan 2008-2012. The funding was provided from UNDP track. MNRE provided co-financing in-kind and scheme support. The imitative was aimed at UNDAF states (United Nations Development Agency Framework) namely Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh which have low human development Index. The ACE project began with an aim of up scaling cost effective, replicable and financially viable entrepreneurship based business and delivery models for deployment of RET and providing inputs to develop strategy for accelerating access to clean energy. This report compiles the progress and achievement of UNDP-MNRE ACE project from Dec 2009 to Dec 2012 and provides some set of recommendations for consideration for future course of action The project compiled two compendiums, the first consisting of 26 case studies, released at DIREC 201 and nearly 3000 copies disseminated and the second compendium consisting of 29 case studies released during International Seminar on Energy Access and nearly 2000 copies disseminated and uploaded on many wesbsites. The project supported development of a document on Global Energy Access Centre as a nodal agency for executing the National Energy Access Plan. Project supported seven pilot projects with the aim to develop business models to promote renewable energy especially in off grid areas. Access to Energy is an important topic of consideration in India with still about 300 million people without electricity and over 600 million people depending on biomass looking restricting overall development and standard of living. In the backdrop of global agenda set forth by UN Secretary General, ‘Sustinable Energy For All’, the lessons from this small initiative can help develop more focused programmes for enhancing access and further proliferation renewable energy.
