Small-scale Hydropower in Africa: Socio-technical design for renewable energy in Tanzanian villages.
Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a
human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal
heat. Solar
energy use has been rapidly growing in the Lake Region over the last few years.
Yet while this is certainly a positive trend, renewable energy entrepreneurs
still face many challenges due to lack of knowledge regarding product suppliers
and quality. This results in their systems often being engineered by unqualified
technicians. A specialised team from GVEP provided support to the couple
regarding choice of products and system sizing, and linked them to a reputable
solar supplier in Mwanza, Zara
Solar Limited. Solar powered
micro-enterprises require little costs in relation to the benefits they bring,
which, for GVEP, is a relatively sustainable way of accelerating access to
energy in remote areas such as the Lake Region, too remote to be connected to
the country’s electrical grid.
