State Microgrid Policy, Programmatic, and Regulatory Framework

The first step when developing a microgrid policy or program should be to define several key terms including microgrid, hybrid/multi-customer microgrid, and mobile microgrid. This can be done through legislation, regulation, a state roadmap, or in the initial program description. It is important that a definition is accepted state-wide

The sustainable management of micro hydropower systems

There is a need for an annual subsidy of US$ 2,281 for Chendebji and US$ 1,576 for Ura micro hydropower systems. My key policy recommendation is that the development of micro hydropower should be coupled with the development of income generating opportunities in order to enhance the economic self-reliance of rural communities.
