SUSTAINABLE ENERGY REGULATION AND POLICYMAKING TRAINING MANUAL page 10.80 the wind turbine, battery charging was undertaken at Ada, which required crossing the river. This inconvenience has now been removed. Communication is improved and there are more forms of entertainment through easy access to television, radio and a video theatre. In addition, the wind turbines have successfully introduced the communities to alternative energy. Apart from the equipment failures, which had the effect of eroding public confidence in the technology, the usefulness of wind-generated power was well appreciated. 3. CONCLUSION This project was a bold initiative that sought to bring electric power to the offgrid communities with no other means of electricity. Also, the project intended to establish local capacity in the production of small wind turbines, with a view to reducing system costs and also creating employment. The wind turbines were supposed to generate enough confidence in their users so that they would buy the units after some months. This indicates that the electricity should be seen as a means of enhancing productivity and profitability. Cottage industries should benefit from such systems. However, the question of rural poverty and ability-to-pay arises once again.
