The project to date...

Hello and welcome readers!

Although we've just started this blog now in January the Empower project has been gathering momentum at the University of New South Wales since mid 2007.

Currently the team is working with it's Sri Lankan contacts, The University of Moratuwa and the Energy Forum, to plan the development and installation of the biomass unit.

We're also researching in preparation for the second part of the project, specifically looking at business models to introduce around the electrification unit and the possibilities of using microcredit to sustain the businesses run by the villagers.

Another important task underway is the search for key sponsors and other interested parties.

Stay tuned for more developments!
