“We are deeply honored to receive not one, but two awards for our work in India,” said Husk Power Systems India Country Director Saugata Datta. “The recognition is testament to the fact that decentralized renewable energy solutions, such as minigrids, are on the forefront of power sector innovation, and we share this award with the rural communities, businesses and households that we serve.”
