Data from the Government of India’s GARV2 dashboard shows that 37 per cent of households in Odisha are unelectrified, even as over 98 per cent of villages in the state have been electrified. While the difference between proportion of households having grid and using it as primary source of lighting is much lower in Odisha than it is in neighbouring states, there is room to improve household satisfaction from electrification, and the management of grid electricity as a service. To achieve 24x7 power for all, it is essential to go beyond connections and provide adequate, sufficient and affordable electricity supply to all.
This policy brief presents findings and recommendations, based on the ‘Access to Clean Cooking Energy and Electricity: Survey of States’ (ACCESS) 2015, for improving the household electrification rate and improving the satisfaction derived from electricity for households in Odisha.
