The electrification of the pilot village Sahasifotra by means of wind energy has proven the technical and economical feasibility of such a project in Northern Madagascar.
Now a whole region (15 rural villages) shall be electrified. The REPIC project thereby covers the electrification of 3 villages, whereas the primary energy source will be wind with diesel generators as a back-up. The goals of the project are a reduction of the migration into cities through local income generation due to the electrification and the strengthening of social structure in the village communities. Simultaneously, the know-how in the existing institutions (advanced technical college, technical university, industry and trade) shall be strengthened and broadened. |
