Husk Power Systems, founded in 2008, is a company based in Fort Collins, Colorado, US, that provides clean energy services to off-grid or weak grid rural communities in East Africa, West Africa and South Asia, primarily by building renewable energy mini-grids/micro-grids. Its original technology generated electricity using a biomass gasifier that created fuel from rice husks, a waste product of rice hullers that separate the husks as chaff from the rice, a staple food in both Asia and Africa. In the mid-2010s, with the rapid decline in the price of solar PV and batteries, Husk pivoted its business model to focus more on solar-plus-storage mini-grids (what at the time Husk coined "mini power plants"), while continuing to use biomass in combination with solar to serve communities with larger

  • Husk Power Systems, founded in 2008, is a company based in Fort Collins, Colorado, US, that provides clean energy services to off-grid or weak grid rural communities in East Africa, West Africa and South Asia, primarily by building renewable energy mini-grids/micro-grids. Its original technology generated electricity using a biomass gasifier that created fuel from rice husks, a waste product of rice hullers that separate the husks as chaff from the rice, a staple food in both Asia and Africa. In the mid-2010s, with the rapid decline in the price of solar PV and batteries, Husk pivoted its business model to focus more on solar-plus-storage mini-grids (what at the time Husk coined "mini power plants"), while continuing to use biomass in combination with solar to serve communities with larger electricity demand. In 2021, Husk Power was recognized in the REN21 Renewables Global Status Report as the first mini-grid company to achieve significant scale, by surpassing 100 solar hybrid community mini-grids, and 5,000 small business customers. In 2022, Husk signed an Energy Compact with the United Nations, in which it set a target of building 5,000 mini-grids and connecting at least 1 million customers by 2030. The company was co-founded by Manoj Sinha (currently CEO), Gyanesh Pandey, Ratnesh Yadav, and Chip Ransler. Chairman of the Board is Brad Mattson. (en)
  • Husk Power Systems — индийская энергетическая компания, производящая электроэнергию в сельской местности из рисовой шелухи, которую поставляют крестьянские хозяйства и рисоочистительные предприятия. Электроэнергия, вырабатываемая на разработанных компанией газогенераторах биомассы, продаётся в отсталые сельские области бедного штата Бихар. Husk Power Systems основана четырьмя соучредителями — индийцами Гианешем Пандеем, Маноджем Синха, Ратнешем Ядавом и американцем Чарльзом Ранслером. Производя дешёвую электроэнергию из рисовой шелухи и создав независимую распределительную сеть, быстрорастущая компания Husk Power Systems таким образом способствует утилизации отходов сельского хозяйства, борется с частыми в Индии отключениями и предоставляет услуги семьям, которые не могут потратить на электричество более 2 долл. в месяц. Кроме того, Husk Power Systems обучает и нанимает местных бедняков, которые обслуживают установки и следят за тем, чтоб потребители не воровали электроэнергию (также через сеть своих служащих компания продаёт в розницу электролампочки и продукты первой необходимости, производит ароматические палочки, помогая беднякам получить дополнительный заработок).
