Synergy Potential of Financial and Energy Inclusion –An Interdisciplinary Approach
Abstract
Purpose: Natural resources are depleting at a faster pace and there is a need to search for other alternatives. Solar energy is one such alternative which is gaining momentum nowadays. Providing easy access to this energy with the support of financial services can create a synergy effect and hence contributes towards the interdisciplinary approach of financial and energy inclusion. This paper aims at exploring the synergy potential of financial and energy inclusion with special reference to PAYG SOLAR.
Design Methodology: Review Based Approach.
Findings: The study concludes that Financial inclusion and energy inclusion are interdependent and if tapped to the fullest then then create high synergy. Provision of access to finance facilities for the population living under bottom of Pyramid (BoP) will contribute towards Energy inclusion and acess towards basis neds of electricity can create a demand for finance.
Originality/Value: The study endeavours to study the scope of financial inclusion and energy inclusion interdependently .
