Restaurants and Hotels in rural Nepal hold great promise to electrify cooking, offering both cost and time savings. The inclusion of commercial food establishments in such initiatives remains limited, however. In this blog, we share key insights and community feedback gathered through our demonstration campaign.
Practice-to-Policy Exchange: Grid Connected Micro Hydro Power in Sri Lanka
One of our recent SEPS exchange activities aimed to nurture knowledge exchange between multi-actors for grid-connected micro hydro technology across the region of South and Southeast Asia and to enable members of the Hydro Empowerment Network (HPNET) to operate renewable energy technologies apart from the national grid.
The practice-to-policy exchange was a three-stage exchange process, where the first three months were dedicated to online information exchange, followed by a physical exchange activity and a four-day workshop held in Sri Lanka with 21 delegates representing eight countries and including ten other sector experts.
The workshop helped delegates share experiences from their respective countries and observe operations of successful mini and micro hydro plants in Sri Lanka, which are connected to the grid.
The final step of this exchange process was to develop advocacy material to be used by members of the Hydro Empowerment Network to promote micro and mini hydro grid connections in their countries and for the whole of South and South East Asia, where the network’s activites are located.
