ABSTRACT: The project is to setup and run an integrated village electricity production and distribution system that is
fuelled with bio-oil from Jatropha plantations around the village, on designated land.
The systems also include the seed
to oil conversion press and filtration installations.
The installed capacity of the electric power system is 300 KW and this
serves 400 connections of which most are village household connections.
Productive uses are a crucial aspect of the
project, with local small enterprises and community services included, such as metal workshops, carpenters workshops,
boutiques, cold stores, restaurants, school lighting, health post light
