Introduction
Hybrid Dangiwada Wind
and Solar Energy Project of capacity 26KW, an isolated Power system project, is
constructed by Alternating Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC). Which is located in
Mid-western Nepal; Tatopani-5 DandiWada, Jumla district. AEPC constructed this
type of project very first time in the district in order to emphasis on rural
Electrification Program. Jumla district lies in the Himalayan region and very
far from the capital city Kathmandu. There is not the National Transmission
Grid due to geographical difficulty. Most of the places are rural areas and
underdeveloped. So, AEPC conduct an electrification Program for giving services
to backward people.

Social Impacts on
Villagers after Electrification
In this village, it is
the first time Electrification Program become boon for them during current
energy crisis. People uses the special type of wood, named as SALLA for
lighting. The fumes come from the wood is very harmful and adverse effects on health.
Some of the villagers were suffered from heart disease, lung cancer, eye
disorder etc. There was fear of fire in
home. The children were unable to study well. There is various Problems
associated with lighting before this project. But, now locals became very happy
after the project. Their lifestyle is changes now. They use electricity for
lighting purpose. Children’s and their parents becomes happy. Villagers said
that, “We are with another bright part of life, we are very happy and
congratulated AEPC for helping poor people.” It can be seen that after completion and
operation of project, there is positive impact on society. 26Kw is the very
small project but, becomes very huge for those people who do not use
electricity before. Villagers must come to headquarter to charging mobile phone
before. But the problems is solved out, there is no need to come to
headquarter; which is very far from village by walk, for mobile charge.
Conclusion and
recommendation
Hybrid renewable energy
system is operated in rural area, becomes appropriate for the Electrification
Program where there is lack of national grid. Villagers get benefited, changes
their life style. Peoples becomes very happy and that project brings the life
of people more easy and comfortable. It is necessary to increase capacity of
the system. Peoples are unable to use electricity for cooking purpose. They are
demanded to increase capacity up to 36 kw. So, I am highly recommended that to
increase capacity of the Power system in order to get proper and sufficient use
of electricity.
