Abstract: Rural development depends on having an abundance of reasonably priced energy, but 50% of the world's population lacks power while 20% have limited availability. Inadequate power forces affluent people and companies to relocate to cities, leaving rural regions even more vulnerable, since 80% of the total population are living in low electrification of area. Although the effort is still difficult, governments, non-governmental organizations, private businesses, all have undertaken extensive rural electrification projects. Standalone systems and grid expansion are common strategies. An emphasis on a hybrid model combining grid expansion with local renewable energy production, this research offers state-of-the-art methodologies for developing technically sound and economically viable solutions in a village named Trishuli in Chhattisgarh State. According to the simulation findings, in most cases, the hybrid solution is the least expensive method of action. It offers a sustainable, dependable, and profitable way to close rural energy shortages and promote long-term growth.
