About CLEAN :

Clean Energy Access Network (CLEAN) is a member-based association of organisations engaged in the Decentralised Renewable Energy ( DRE) sector in India. The network seeks to be a unifying entity with a clear mandate to support and grow the decentralised clean energy sector in India. Over time it is envisaged that CLEAN will not only become the go-to entity for the decentralised clean energy sector in India but will also become a go-to point for members of the sector internationally. The network has been established to help entrepreneurs and organisations overcome sector-specific challenges and create a platform to project the needs and priorities of the sector by bringing together practitioners and all stakeholders in the energy ecosystem.

The need for a Clean Energy Access Network arises from the fact that, while there are several enterprises that are involved in addressing the energy access gaps in India, the replicability and scalability of solutions is often a barrier to their growth in addition to the absence of an enabling environment or a supportive ecosystem.

CLEAN is technology and scale agnostic and represents organisations both in electric and non-electric energy. It delivers five core sets of services: Policy Engagement, Access to Finance, Skills and Training, Technology and Innovation, and Information & Networking Opportunities. The key objectives of CLEAN include addressing policy and regulatory uncertainty in the DRE sector, availability of skilled human resources, improving the access to finance and technology development driven by innovation to make energy access affordable and reliable.
