An Assessment of off-grid micro hydro potential in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Viability of using off-grid micro hydro technology for rural electrification was first demonstrated by the Intermediate Technology Development Group (ITDG) in 1991. Following the demonstration phase, ITDG carried out numerous activities to create the enabling conditions for replication of this technology on a wider scale. The technology has gained popularity in Sri Lanka and its application is steadily growing.
