Step 2: Electric Power: Institutional Level

The Facilitation Team now needs to do the following:

• Collect information to assess the status of the electric power infrastructure for each institution that will be served by the program.
• Investigate the adequacy of existing plans and what the proposed program should include to provide the necessary electric power
• Examine alternate sources of power in case grid electricity is not a viable source.
• Summarize results in completing a FORM for each institution. A checkmark next to the institution name indicates the FORM has been completed for that institution.
  

To review alternative sources of power that have been experimented with in some countries, click ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY.

The Team may solicit information from appropriate individuals or institutions by sending the FORMs as email attachments requesting that they be completed and returned.

(Note: If no institutions or geographic areas are listed below, please make sure you have completed the list of Program Geographic Areas and Institutions requested in Tool 2.2. ).
