The REEPRO project is motivated by the fact that poor households in Developing Countries often lack access to basic energy services. The proposed project shall lead to the provision of energy services to those currently un-served or underserved by higher quality energy services on the basis of an introduction of renewable energies and energy efficiency.

The project is funded by the European Commission within the COOPENER Programme. It focuses on the commercialisation of renewable energy technologies in the partner countries. Therefore potential (micro-) entrepreneurs will be trained in basic business and management skills to develop their own renewable energy based business.

2. Level: Technicians with basic understanding of engineering subjects
3. Level: Community stakeholders with often very basic education level

• Promotion of renewable energies in selected communities by the implementation of show cases – pilot applications of renewable energy technologies
• Encouraging local entrepreneurs to become active in the renewable energy sector
