3 99 MJ / day 42 MJ / day ENERGY DEMAND PER CAPITA 145 % 100 % GDP GROWTH CAPITA million 862 million POPULATION SIZE

4 India without access to electricity and clean cooking fuels leapfrog top-down centralized energy grid

5 NETWORK STRATEGY

6 Smart Energy Network distributed linking of supply and demand

7 Implementation abstract vision Design. Real Context insight success is measured by observing whether the emerged system will actually be used and realize the intended goal.* * Rural Spark published an academic paper on this approach: Tomico, O.; Winthagen, V.O.; & van Heist, M.M.G.

17 the market DEMAND is enormous & urging the SOLUTION is available our ORGANIZATION is ready the CONCEPT has proved itself the CONTINUATION is ensured all parters can SCALE UP today realization of a REVOLUTION in the way we use energy 2 billion people without access to clean, safe and sustainable energy people in rural india primary depending on kerosine and firewood as an energy source Worldwide shift towards smart energy networks Worldwide focus on decreasing carbon-based energy Enormous opportunity to leapfrog the expensive and resource intensive grids constructed in most of the developed world Iteratively designed system, fitting the actual context, realizing smartly distributed energy networks, with surplussed traded on an emerging marked linking supply and demand Access to over rural Indian villages in cooperation with Basix Group India Rural Spark Energy Pvt. Ltd. (Indian company) with local embodiment: prof. Paul Rutten, CEO India Successfully operational since february 2012: In 4 pilots, Local Energy Suppliers renting tools, provide energy to over 50 rural households Continuation and maintenance system in place, perceived locally, leveraging local existing networks. Indian business model is economically viable Manufacturing, facilitation and maintenance partners ready for scaling The world s first and largest implemented smart grid Over 2 million households with access to clean, safe and sustainable energy before 2020 Saving over tons of CO 2 before 2020 Return on investment of 500% before 2020
