GTZ-gate to giz - MHPP 2
• Not more than 3 workshop worked for micro hydro
• Not more than 5 engineers worked for micro hydro
• There was no university in Indonesia interested in micro hydro
• Only ESDM-DJLPE had micro hydro program
• There was no private company interested to invest in micro hydro
(GTZ-gate period 1991 – 1994)
• More than 20 workshop work for micro-mini hydro
• More than 100 engineers work for micro-mini hydro
• Many universities are doing research and development in micro-mini hydro
• 5 Ministries and more than 30 regencies have micro hydro program
• Many private companies interested to invest in mini hydro

FUTURE OUTLOOK
• So far since 1992, I can grow and glow from micro hydro
• GTZ-gate technology cooperation has given opportunity a marginal engineer
to be a hydro technopreneur
• Since 2001 , Indonesian Energy Policy is conducive for micro hydro development
• There is no china competitor especially for cross-flow turbine
• Foreign market for cross-flow turbine is still prospective especially for micro size
• Hydropower engineering is still an emerging market in Indonesia, since just
7.54% are developed (Micro hydro = 28.31%)
• More challenges for mini hydro turbine manufacturing, especially from china
• Mini hydro turbine manufacturing (francis, kaplan) will not grow in Indonesia,
except there is a special protection or another technical & business-cooperation
• Technical & business – cooperation: German-Indo (Voith-PT.Indo,
WKV-PT.Indo) to compete with Sinohydro (China manufacturer)
• We may learn from Andritz Hydro (Austria-India)

”We may survive without hydropower, but
Can we live without water ??”
