Progress for Datalnay/Dlumay Micro-Hydro

By Michel Maupoux - Program Manager, Green Empowerment, August 13, 2008 05:47 PM

As of July 2008, the following activities have started and will be on-going:
* Social preparation (organizing for construction, management, maintenance);
* Sustainable agriculture training and implementation to improve food supply to the population;
* Deeds of parcels to the community organization for all land necessary for civil works, including the power house that will house the turbine and generator;
* Local (endemic) seedling collection, tree nursery development, and tree-planting to protect the watershed.

As of August 10, 2008, the custom-made turbine and generator assembly have been built by our generous in-kind donor Canyon Hydro. Shipment to the Philippines will happen once the importation red tape is cleared.

The necessary civil work (weir, canal, piping, penstock, etc.) is scheduled to be completed with help of the villagers by December 2008.
Site installation of turbine & generator is scheduled for the first half of 2009, with the test run in June 2009.

Complementary funding is still sought for the corn mill equipment.
