Research Summary: Powering Primary Healthcare through Solar in India: Lessons from Chhattisgarh

Improving Rural Primary Health Services through Better Electricity Access

The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) completed a first-of-its-kind quantitative and qualitative study on the impacts of electricity access via distributed solar on rural healthcare services. The study, Powering Primary Healthcare through Solar in India: Lessons from Chhattisgarh, finds an immense opportunity for solar energy to bridge the gaps in electricity access and reliability in rural healthcare facilities, both as primary and backup source of power.
