The technology proposed for the project is a clean energy based integrated multi-utility charging station that utilizes the locally available renewable energy resources to generate electricity. The charging stations will be located near the energy utilization points in villages to provide electricity services as per the needs of the community. The generated electricity would then be used for powering a variety of applications such as charging lanterns, other appliances such as computer, mobile phones, water purifier, grinder, driers, etc.

As part of the on-going joint research study along with IEEJ (Institute for Energy Economics, Japan), TERI studied the e-filing system of India and the Japanese energy reporting system. TERI and IEEJ teams interacted with Japanese stakeholders on the salient features of their reporting system and Indian stakeholders for the improvements possible in the e-filing system. Based on these inputs, sector-specific formats for two industry sectors, namely cement and iron &steel were developed.
