Bringing healthcare services closer to communities by powering healthcare infrastructure with sustainable, decentralized energy and optimizing energy usage with innovative efficient equipment and built environment design
Whether in rural, remote regions, or dense urban areas, reliable and affordable energy along with efficient medical appliances are critical to ensuring reach, efficacy and impact of healthcare services. Energy is essential for enabling services across the continuum of care. Services like storage of vaccines and other cold chain equipment, usage of life-saving medical screening and diagnostic devices, lighting, communications and administration services all depend on reliable energy systems.

By accounting for decentralized renewable energy and energy efficiency, we
enable healthcare services to be delivered closer to people. Along with technology innovations and built environment designs for optimizing space, financial and social innovations are carried out for long term sustainability of health-energy programs.
SELCO Foundation, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and state ministries, launched the Energy for Health program in 2023, which seeks to
sustainably power 25,000 health facilities across 12 states in India with decentralized renewable energy and energy efficient equipment, for the benefit of people and the planet.
To date, SELCO Foundation has implemented impactful solutions across 8,000 healthcare facilities nationwide.
