Bringing modern electricity services to more than 450 million South Asians without access to grid electricity calls for a variety of innovative mechanisms. Since off-grid electricity implementation is ipso facto decentralized, many have been able to experiment with different business models for implementation. This chapter examines various business models in rural electrification with a focus on off-grid models using clean sources of energy. The chapter also aims to understand how different organizations have modeled their off-grid and rural electrification programmes and what have been successful and challenging about each model. Given the vastness of the literature available on various electrification models adopted across the world, the review will necessarily be a partial one, however an attempt has been made to capture the models prevalent in the South Asian region and their essential features.
