In it's inaugural round, more than 475 organizations from 80 countries applied to the Powering Agriculture Grand Energy Challenge for Development, offering market-based, clean energy innovations for the agricultural sphere in developing countries. Each of the 11 winning organizations received awards of between $800,000 and $1.5 million.

Decentralized PowerCamco Advisory Services, Tanzania Camco works with local partners to develop small to large scale renewable energy projects.
Poor households and small businesses in developing countries pay a lot for low quality fuels even though inexpensive, high-quality substitutes are being produced by companies around the world. EarthSpark fills in the “missing links” – market research, a business model, and start-up capital – which are necessary to deliver high-quality energy technologies and services. ► Solar-Diesel Hybrid System for Agricultural Processing in Haiti (Earth Spark International)
