Portland-based Green Empowerment has announced that they will be offering an intensive 2.5 day technical training this April. The course will cover much of the material covered in Green Empowerment's annual 5-day course. It is mostly the same as the popular 3-day course that was offered in October 2008, with the exception that solar pumping will be covered in greater depth and wind power will not be covered. A rough agenda is as follows:
Friday, 4/17: 6-9pm
- Intro. to GE and our development model; phases of a project's development.
- Case Study on a solar water pump installation in the Philippines
- Case Study on planning and training at a nationally sponsored conference in Ecuador for utility operators, government official, and village leaders
Saturday, 4/18: 9am-5pm-ish
- Primer on electricity
- Solar electricity for rural community power needs
Sunday, 4/19: 9am-5pm-ish
