(1) to continue to build and strengthen local capacities around ELC installation and development; and (2) to further improve the open-source ELC design
- Four practitioners each from Malaysian Borneo and the Philippines with experience in community micro-hydro systems will learn to assemble, maintain and repair open-source ELCs by attending a four-week training course. The training modules include theory, manufacture, installation, maintenance and testing using a test rig, followed by a site visit.
- Regional experts from Sri Lanka and Indonesia will be invited to support the secondary objective of the exchange, i.e. to continue to develop, innovate and improve the ELC design into production-ready technology for the benefit of the whole HPNET working group.
