POWER FROM WIND - PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE PROVISION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
The project seeks to contribute towards climate change mitigation by providing cheaper alternative energy source from the wind, create self-sufficiency through income generating projects and promote people centered natural resources management for local and global benefits.
The objectives for Temaruru Community Power Trust include the following:
1) To install a wind turbine to supply electricity to the school, clinic and pump water for the irrigation scheme
2) To upgrade wind turbines at the business center and support the production and marketing of farm produce.
3) To provide energy efficient stoves to reduce the rate of firewood consumption
4) To engage in afforestation activities that include the planting of jatropha and moringa trees
5) To raise local level awareness on climate change, energy conservation and efficiency issues.
specific expected results
by the end of the project we will have achieved the following
-wind power plant will have been set up at the school
-the wind turbines at the business center will have been upgraded
-at least 30 people will have been trained in climate change and energy conservation and efficiency issues
-5 people will have been trained in wind turbine maintenance and project management
-15 teachers `houses and the clinic will be electrified
-1 electricity powered irrigation scheme established
-1 borehole drilled
-15 community homesteads and school gardens established with live fencing of 5 trees per meter of jathropha plants
-1 community orchard will have been put in place with 40 citrus and other fruit trees plantd
-20 moringa oleifera trees will have been planted at the school and clinic
- 100 energy efficient stoves constructed in the community households
-1 biogas digester constructed for the community.
project activities
-set up wind turbines at Temaruru school, connect to the clinic and upgrade turbines at the business centre.
-offer training in wind power plant maintenance , entrepreneurial and marketing skills for project sustainability
-setting up 100 energy efficient stove kits and 1 biogas digester.
-community mobilisation and awareness raIsing in climate change and efficient energy use and conservation
-enhancing the institutional, project management and evaluation capacity of Temaruru community power trust
-live fencing of gardens ad homesteads , establishment of school orchard and panting of moringa oleifera trees
-supply electricity to pump water for irrigation and for water reticulation.
