Issues:
·
Cost- how to make technology affordable to communities ·
Lack of skill in maintenance and repair- requires trainlng, not just supply-
short life of technology without this · In the future, the cost of energy will decrease, so
it will be cheaper than traditional forms of energy ·
It takes resources to make alternative energy- how long will it take until it
produces more energy than it took to make it ·
How to apply this knowledge at community level ·
Require training (capacity building) of local communities ·
Lack of policy direction- huge influx of push using diesel energy- need for
co-ordinated groups to develop that policy involving the administration and
civil society- ‘hamutuk’ · Cost of diesel to run generators is too high for
East Timor into the future.

STRATEGIES |
|
·
Cost – how
to make technology affordable to communities ·
Cost of
diesel to run generators is too high for East Timor into the future |
·
Ways to
reduce energy ·
In future
alternative energy costs will decrease and it will be cheaper than
traditional forms of energy ·
Government
and technology providers work together to provide products to people in
remote communities ·
Budget
needed ·
Government/private
electrical companies establish and maintain systems – people pay for
electricity in small amounts with meter per week |
|
Lack of skill
in maintenance and repair Require training (capacity building) of local
communities |
·
Use
existing community structures to train people to maintain and decide their
energy needs |
|
Lack of policy direction – huge influx of push
using diesel energy – need coordinated group to develop that policy involving
the administration and civil society “hamutuk” |
