Turning Up Clean Energy in Asia: Decarbonizing Healthcare in India
Delivering healthcare is a 24/7 job. But what happens when the electricity supply – necessary for so many critical procedures and equipment, medications, and operating facilities – is unreliable? Hear how HSBC India partnered with WRI India to finance solar power and battery energy storage solutions for rural healthcare facilities across three Indian states of Jharkhand, Maharashtra, and Assam.
Creating a consistent electrification plan has improved service for more than 400,000 patients. Ensuring reliable, renewable energy means that health facilities can focus on what they do best; serving their patients safely. Shivani Shah, Senior Communications Manager, talks about the successes and challenges of scaling solar-based healthcare to thousands of facilities across the country, with multiple WRI and non-WRI experts. Guests for the episode include:
- Dr. Rajni Gupta – Program Manager, Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI)
- Romit Sen – Senior Vice President, Corporate Sustainability, HSBC India
- Lanvin Concessao – Program Manager, WRI India Energy Program
- Rishikesh Mishra – Senior Program Associate, WRI India Energy Program
