Using Micro-Hydro Power Technology
Output from the turbine shaft
Direct use: mechanical power
Conversion: electrical generator Electricity
Calculating the obtainable power
Theoretical / Potential Power:
(P) = Flow rate (Q) x Head (H) x Gravity (g)
= 9.81

Alternative: Geothermal and Micro Nuclear
Geothermal: Capacity factor: 60%
Need be located near springs, most
springs near the main central thrust
zone or main boundary fault zone, lack
of drilling expertise for geothermal
wells.


Micro-Nuclear: Capacity factor: 80%

Definitions
Social Frugal Innovation
"Innovations that are designed for poor markets
that scale in sustainable ways" and try to solve the
problems of invisibility of end-users"

Generative diffusion
"generative" because the adoption of an innovation
will take different forms rather than replicate a given
model, "diffusion" because it spreads along multiple
paths

Decentralization
A technological, political, and legal framework to
achieve participation, local planning and service
delivery



21
Nepals framework to decentralize energy planning
Before decentralization act:
Coordination problems on the ground , impeded delivery process
All institutionally supported rural energy initiatives, centralized!


1999 local self-governance act states:
District-level committees take responsibility
Formulate, implement, operate, distribute hydro-power
Maintain and repair projects



22
Achievements
Strong sense of ownership among communities
Nurtured local authorities leadership
Accelerated delivery of energy to rural areas
Expansion of micro-hydro in remote, hilly locations



23
Financial Mechanisms
Self-governing funds at district/village level
Deposit from central-level into village-level funds
Community energy fund owned by rural households
Fund used to invest first, then revenue from end user back to the fund

As a result:
Increased sense of of village-level institutional ownership
Generated funds locally
Mobilization of local resources
made rural energy systems financially sustainable

24
Capacity development to scale-up decentralized EAPs
Collaboration of UNDP with Nepals Ministry of Environment
Main findings from field experiences for capacity building:
1. Capacity development is central to successful scaling-up of rural EAPs
2. Upfront public investments are needed to develop national & local
capacities for scaling-up rural energy services delivery, and can catalyze
private financing
3. scaling-up of decentralized energy access programmes to meet their full
potential is financially within reach, particularly with greater
participation from private sector.
Two successful scaled up programmes:
1. Small hydro-power (150MW by 2030, USD 435m)
2. National solar power -cooking stoves (2m by 2030, USD 18m)




25

Sustainable energy offers:

1)Rise in living standards
2)Economic growth
3)Environmental balance

Nepal before: Highly dependent on traditional
bio fuel for heating and cooking

Threat to environment & peoples health

Nepal after:
- 59000 household & 317 plants of hydro-power (5.7 MW capacity)
- 15000 cooking stoves, 7000 toilet-attached biogas, 3200 solar home heat
- Modern energy available to 1m people in rural & remote areas
- Significant progress in rural development
- Increase in household income and spending
- Promoting environmental quality by means of renewables
26
Impact on Nepal & Nepalese


National ownership & commitment
Local engagement
Catalytic finance
Community mobilization & local
partnership
Capacity development at all levels
15% of Nepals electricity from MH
40 new business for every MH station
reduced household spending on
energy
