India, Republic of (Press Release) November 2, 2007 --
New Delhi,Conergy AG, a leading international supplier and producer of renewable energy solutions, announced today its own charity project for rural electrification in India. Using funds collected at the upcoming Conergy Renewable Energy Golf Cup Tournament on 3 November, Conergy will supply and install environmentally-friendly solar lighting solutions for 350 people in Garh, a village in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, India. Garh will officially be nominated the Conergy Renewable Energy Village.
The Conergy Group has been present in India since 2005, where it has supplied and installed over 10, 000 off-grid solar systems in 250 remote villages located in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. Currently, there are 80,000 villages in India without electricity - 25, 000 are out of reach for any public grid. Garh is one of the most remote of these villages, with no direct access to mobile services or healthcare facilities. It is surrounded by desert land and has minimal forest cover, with most of its population earning a livelihood through farming. While this remote territory proves expensive and technologically challenging for power supplied through a public grid, off-grid renewable energy systems such as solar-powered home and street lighting components are affordable and efficient alternatives to this problem, while also environmentally-friendly.
Participants of the charity golf tournament will also have their chance to play a part in realizing this vision. To date, 110 players have confirmed their attendance, among them business leaders and decision-makers. Each player will pay a fee to participate, which will go towards funding the Garh project. Conergy’s monetary contribution to the Masonic trust will also help to achieve this.
