Deepak Mohapatra from the Alliance for Rural Electrification Discusses Tackling Global Energy and Agricultural Challenges through Decentralized Renewable Energy Initiatives.

Deepak Mohapatra, Senior Officer at Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE), delivered the wrap-up session of a conference addressing global energy access challenges. He highlighted that 685 million people globally lack electricity as per 2022 data from the SDG 7 report, and an additional 1.5 billion have unreliable access. ARE is an industry association founded in 2006 to tackle these issues by creating affordable and green energy markets across Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America & Caribbean. ARE's diverse membership includes manufacturers, NGOs, financiers among others; they focus on technologies like solar, hydro, wind biomass alongside newer areas such as green hydrogen. They also emphasize energy storage solutions to address renewables' intermittency. Mohapatra underscored ARE’s engagement with various sectors through Decentralized Renewable Energy (DRE) applications—agriculture being a key area due to its high rural reliance on it for livelihood. Collaborating with organizations like United Nations Industrial Development Organization-ITPO Germany aims to boost agricultural productivity through DRE innovations.
