Thanks to a EPFL Cooperation & Development Center (CODEV) Seed Grant awarded to students from the Energy Business, Policy, and Technology (EnergyBPT) Group and Simpa Networks, two MS students from the Energy Management program spent 2.5 months as summer analysts in New Delhi. Simpa Networks is a 6-year-old, award-winning, venture-backed social enterprise (supported by US AID, Asian Development Bank, among others) with a bold mission: to make modern energy simple, affordable, and accessible to everyone via pay-as-you-go solar home systems for customers in rural India.
