The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has launched LaBL 2.0 (Lighting a Billion Lives 2.0) in New Delhi to expand decentralised renewable energy in India. It promotes Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions such as solar power in rural and off-grid areas. LaBL 2.0 is the second phase of the Lighting a Billion Lives initiative, which TERI first launched in 2008. The programme backs clean energy access, rural livelihoods and women-led clean energy enterprises, and uses Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems to measure climate benefits and cuts in carbon emissions.
