Objective
The client wanted to develop a whitepaper to explore the role of Productive Use of Energy (PUE) in supporting micro-enterprises beyond the agriculture and allied sectors. The study provides new insights into the landscape of energy solution providers engaged in lesser-known PUE activities across India, Kenya, and Nigeria. It highlights how PUE can drive localized socio-economic development by transforming rural, peri-urban, and urban communities into economically vibrant hubs and emphasizes its potential in enhancing the livelihoods of micro-enterprises outside traditional agricultural value chains.
