在偏远的农村地区提供现代能源服务不仅费用高,实施也很困难。然而,农村地区可靠的能源供应是帮助发展中国家实现千年发展目标的关键因素之一。论述了在安第斯地区发展微小型水电的机遇,介绍了在厄瓜多尔开展的试点项目。微小型水电技术能帮助农村地区获得现代能源服务。 Providing modern energy services in remote rural areas is both costly and difficult to implement. However, the reliable energy supply in rural areas is one of the key factors that help developing countries to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The opportunities for the development of micro-hydropower in the Andean region are discussed and the pilot projects in Ecuador introduced. Micro-hydropower technology can help rural areas access modern energy services.
