Communities prioritize projects in consultation with NGO partner – targeted electrification to meet needs NGO partner requests assistance from Green Empowerment Each community forms committee to operate/maintain system/project… and collect monthly maintenance tariff from each household

El Bote is a 1300 acre community forest reserve upstream from a 950 kW microhydro system.
The preservation of this reserve includes Agroforestry Training and Ecosystem Restoration via shade-grown coffee, live fences, riverbank stabilization, riparian recovery from grazing, re-vegetation, natural fertilizers
There is a strong connection between water/energy and the ecosystems that provide it

ELECTRICITY VIA RENEWABLE ENERGY
![Page 13: Lima | Jan-16 | Green Empowerment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042906/589bad0d1a28ab1d748b5127/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TECHNOLOGY IN SUMMARY
Each energy need can be met with a technology suited for:
◦ Energy need
◦ Local resources (wind, water, sun…)
◦ Culture
◦ Institutional factor

COST COMPARISONS OF TECHNOLOGY
Technology Cost/kWh Notes
Solar PV $1.50-$3.50 / kWh -Need sun -Batteries
Microhydro $0.10-$0.50 / kWh ($3000-$5000/kW)
-Need water source -24 hour energy
Small Wind $0.30-$0.80 / kWh -Need wind -Batteries
Diesel $0.3-$1.20 /kWh -Needs continual fuel source
-Noise and pollution
Biomass Not for electricity

COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT MODELS
Who will fund the project equipment,
installation, training, maintenance (users,
NGOs, government?)
What model is appropriate at different
scales, from a village or a thousand
villages?
What model is equitable and financially
sustainable?
What systems can increase with
population growth?
Even if there is a village-level
management, who will provide back up
technical, administrative and financial
support to multiple energy systems?

MANAGEMENT CONCLUSIONS 1. Energy should not be free --
ability/willingness to pay is underestimated
2. Electrons do not equal development (productive uses must be included to ensure sustainability/replicability)
3. Think globally -- national policies
4. Act locally – diversify energy systems to fit local needs -- distributed mini-grids
5. Technology is usually the “easy” part of the project
6. All human-made things need maintenance -- make sure there is a way to pay for it, or else the project will not last
7. Community organizing, feasibility studies, and pre-/post health assessments all help make the case for the project and establish long term need and benefit
