Husk is the leading rural energy services company in weak-grid and off-grid communities in Africa and Asia. We provide reliable, quality, 100% renewable power to businesses, households and institutions.
People living in rural parts of India and Africa face a set of common challenges: lack of access to essential services like water, healthcare, education and income-generating opportunities. The availability of affordable 24/7 power is a prerequisite to address all these issues and more.
Our grid-compatible 100% "theft proof" power generation and transmission lines meet global standards and can be rolled out rapidly and cost effectively to help meet national electrification goals.
Power generation
We pioneered a hybrid system (Solar PV + Biomass system) that could generate lowest-cost 100% renewable power 24/7 by synchronizing solar and biomass gasification power plants.
Waste monetization
We developed a proprietary process to convert rice husk char, a waste product of gasification, to "green" incense sticks and employed only women for manufacturing.
Customer care
We have integrated smart pre-paid metering big-data and analytics to deliver voice enabled and easy to understand custom messages as part of our customer service.
Transmission and distribution
We have developed a proprietary "theft-proof" distribution system with "zero" observed theft and deliver a stable voltage to customers.
Remote management
We have enabled a cloud based remote management platform and monitor site performance and customer energy uses remotely in real-time.
