The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes are linked 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 projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 loads of co2 per year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it creates job for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
