Rural electrification with NCRE

About

Our project is a service and is centered on rural electrification. We give a solution to have electricity using nonconventional renewable energy (NCRE) with the implication and participation of the members of the rural communities. Firstly we make an electric analysis of the rural community consume using participatory methodologies with them. This part is to identify the possibles energetic savings. Then we evaluate the renewable resources in the area and which type of technology is the best (mini-hydroelectric power, mini-wind power...). After that, we develop the engineering project and show it to the community for their approval. If it's all ok, we start the implementation. Finally we capacitate the community for the maintenance and the operation of the technology used. One of the most important things in our project is the participation of the community members. These communities need to improve their know-how to this type of technologies and be trained to manage them theirselfs.
