Alternative energy

For sustainable development we must keep attention on energy. Other vice the villagers in remote villages consume a lot of firewood, coercing oil, Dry sells etc. For that they have to spend a lot of money and it can make a lot of disturbers to family in economically, physically (Helth) and socially. Hedo helps to decrease this problem.

HEDO promote ;

Micro hydropower
Pico hydropower
Effective stoves
Bio-Gas plants
And HEDO has the skill and capacity to promote Dendro power plants and wind mill also

Micro Hydropower

Daraniyagala which is HEDO’s working area is remote area in Sri Lanka. In Daraniyagala more than 50% of population are live in off grid aria. This area is hill area with beautiful streams. The streams that flow through hill area have potential to generate energy. HEDO started promote micro – hydro power generation projects in the villages who’s having the suitable water sources in the living area. This power plant can produce enough energy to a small village for lighting their house. HEDO started this with a World Bank funded project called Energy service delivery project (ESD) in 2001.

The program is very successful and HEDO staff got training about micro hydro power project designing & developing. After the training HEDO started implement power plant in 2001. HEDO has completed & facilitated several plants in the area. One of those projects selected to vote for success 10 project of UNDP/SGP. Because of this 560 house holders consume the electricity. These families are being stopped the coercion consumption almost 8400 litres and save one million Sri Lankan rupees per month. It helps to poverty reduction in villages and helps to improve their lifestyle. The communication facility, Information technology and educational capacities also improved by this.

Pico hydro power

HEDO are being introduced Pico hydro power with Practical action Sri Lanka in 2008. It can generate hydro power from small scale water flow. It’s suitable whose don’t have enough water resources to develop micro hydro plant. It can generate electricity for one house or five families to get electricity for lighting. HEDO is has a target to stabilised Pico plants more than 300 within next tow years in Sri Lanka

Effective stoves

In Sri Lanka most of the villagers still consume wood as a fuel. While cook foods using firewood the smoke can be caused to lungs damages. In addition to that unlimited fire wood consumption can make bad effect on forest conservation. There for ineffective stove can make bad impact for both the human and environmental. There for HEDO promotes effective stoves among villagers in the working area. It can be save wood 60% and the smoke density is very low.

Bio-Gas plants

HEDO promote Bio-Gas plant for both energy and manure. The Bio-Gas plant can generate enough gas for cooking purpose and save firewood consumption. Bio-Gas plant works as an organic manure production unite also. It can reduced chemical fertilizer consume and save the money. Bio-Gas plant is good option which is able to protect environment & improve life style of the family.
