International Workshop on Small Scale Wind Energy for Developing Countries: Overview

Overview

The renewable energy technologies can provide sources of unlimited, cheap and clean energy to the people in developing countries. Especially, communities in remote and dry regions, which do not have easy access to the hydro power, and can not afford the installation of long transmission lines or using solar photovoltaic power, could benefit from the wider use of wind energy. Wind turbines can present a good, economically viable and environmental friendly solution to provide remote villages in hilly areas with light and electricity.
The Workshop will bring together African, Western and Asian specialists in the area of low cost renewable energies for developing countries, to discuss wind energy technologies, their reliability and perspectives in developing countries.
This Workshop is the follow- up to the International Workshop on Natural and Low–Cost Materials in Wind Energy Technologies, which took place in Dhulikhel, Nepal, November 10-12, 2008.
