Bangladesh - Renewable Technology Opportunities for Women

Opportunity for Women in Renewable Energy Technology Use in Bangladesh. This was initiated in 1999 with $175,000 from ESMAP as a project in Char Montaz, a coastal island in Bangladesh, with technical assistance from Prokaushali Sangsad Ltd (PSL). South Asia Partnership, Bangladesh, an NGO provided initial support in social mobilization and micro-credit. The project provided skill and renewable energy technology training to 32 poor women in Char Montaz and assited them in establishing the Coastal Women’s Electrification and Development Microenterprise, which now has become a SME with 117 employees. Diversification: Initially, it was assembling of DC lamps and providing services through battery charging station. Now the SME has moved to assembling CFL and LED lamps, controllers and inverters of solar home system (SHS) and mobile phone chargers. It has provided SHS to almost 30,000 households, small enterprises and markets in coastal areas, where grid electrification is not a feasible option.The lessons from this project was taken into a larger project: Bangladesh Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development ($200m). In this project, nearly 200,000 SHS are provided to poor households in remote areas. Grameen Shaki, Srijani, TMSS and other NGOs learnt from this project and made micro-finance available to the poor households for SHS. The World Bank

Video: Dorgan talks about BSC’s energy future

   The new energy billsigned by President Bush this weekgives millions to North Dakota’s energy industry. Senator Byron Dorgan says the bill includes almost six-point-seven million dollars for Bismarck State College. The funding will cover construction for an energy technology and training facility. Dorgan says there is no one place in the state to get more information about what’s going on with each area of the energy industry. That’s why he says he put funding in the energy bill to create an energy corridor office. (Byron Dorgan, US Senator (D)) And we ought to have an office. A Great Plains Energy Corridor Office that’s a repository of all of that information and plays a coordinating role with all of our energy interests in North Dakota and I’m proud to have appropriate 250,000 dollars for this year for that purpose. BSC President Larry Skogen says the funding helps the school become the national resource center for the energy industry. (Larry Skogen BSC President) This funding will enhance our ability to build and equip state of the art laboratories and continue to provide top notch education and training to our on-campus energy technology students. The bill also gives almost one-million-dollars towards enhanced curriculum for the energy technology program at BSC.

All About: Solar energy

   The sun, we are frequently told, is the best source of energy there is — so much so that in just one hour it can provide the earth with all the energy its inhabitants demand in a year. Not only can the sun provide us with all of our energy needs (10,000 times over in fact, according to Greenpeace) but it can also apparently do this without any of those unpleasant side effects that you get from fossil fuels such as air pollution or ozone depletion. And best of all, this resource will never run out — or at least, not in the next 5 billion years or so.
