Absence of centralized power supply in remote settlements causes many problems to local population. Low level of living scale, unstable situation with fuel supply doesn t allow people developing their farms that give main income to local people and provide to their families. Absence of electrification also brings people to burn fuel which causes permanent emissions and as a result - bad environmental situation. One of the most effective and sustainable ways to change situation is alternative energy installations for electricity. Project aim: Demonstration of the photoelectric solar systems efficiency as power-supply sources for remote districts and settlements of Kizilorda area on the example of Moinak settlement and further replication by local communities and governmental authorities on other areas. Project tasks: - Defining optimal options of technical decisions on the AE base for power supply of remote villages - Mobilization of Moinak aul residents - Equipment installation and testing alternative energy installations in houses of Moinak aul and local school - Sharing experience with neighboring settlements of Kizilorda area Project results: - Project results widely spread on local and regional levels, discussed the possibility of AE promotion in other settlements (replication) - Locals use less fuel for daily living needs and decreased greenhouse gases emissions from fuel burning - Houses, farms and school of Moinak settlement provided with photoelectric solar installation that covers more than half of energy requirement for lighting (plus energy for TV and DVD work)
