Poor families in India are being given a New Year renewable energy lifeline as a result of a donation by one of the world's leading solar power companies. BP Solar USA is donating over $1 million worth of solar modules to BASE (Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy), who, in turn, is dispatching them to rural and semi-rural areas of India where over 60 per cent of the population is without electricity. The solar systems will be used for water pumping, lighting and for powering telecommunications services including cyber cafes.
