National Training Workshop on Micro Hydro Power Units in Leh, Ladakh
The Ladakh Ecological Development Group (LEDeG) in collaboration with Bremen Overseas Research & Development Association (BORDA), Germany has been promoting environmental friendly Decentralised Renewable Energy Systems (DERES) for the past 20 years in the Western Himalayas. So far 57 Community-based Micro Hydro Power Units (CMHPU) have been installed by LEDeG in extreme and isolated mountainous regions.
Micro Hydro Power has tremendous potential to solve the rural electri cation problems in India in a decentralized manner. However, at present not many organizations in India have the capacity and necessary skills for implementation, installation and management of community based Micro Hydro Power Units.
LEDeG, in collaboration with Consortium of DEWATS Dissemination (CDD) Society, Bangalore and Bremen Overseas Research Development Association (BORDA), Germany, for the second time is organizing a 7 days residential training programme to transfer skills necessary for planning, implementation and management of community based micro hydro power units.
