The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really affordable rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
