ResOmen Y Re<strong>com</strong>endaciones<br />

de ‘ia Conferencia<br />

David Zoellner<br />

Antes de resumir lo que ha resultado en una con-<br />

ferencialtaller muy productiva, deseo hater unas<br />

pocas notaciones.<br />

En particular, deseo expresar mis agradecimientos<br />

a 10s co-auspiciadores ecuatorianos de esta confer-<br />

encia: el Instituto <strong>National</strong> de Energi’a (INE) y el<br />

Instituto Ecuatoriano de Electrification (INECEL).<br />

La substancia de la conferencia fue grandemente<br />

realzada por la perspicacia, la asistencia y coopera-<br />

cion proporcionados por 10s miembros de1 INE y de1<br />

INECEL.<br />

A la Oficina de Energia de la Agencia para el<br />

Desarrollo International de 10s Estados, Unidos<br />

(USAID), deseo expresar mi apreciacion pot- sumini-<br />

strar 10s recursos que hicieron posible la realization<br />

de esta conferencia. Igualmente importante para<br />

todos nosotros es la contribution efectuada por la<br />

Mision de USAID en Quito. Ellos suministraron el<br />

considerable esfuerzo que una conferencia inter-<br />

national <strong>com</strong>a esta requiere. Muchas Gracias.<br />

Finalmente, una expresion de gratitud para la<br />

Ciudad de Quito. Es una ubicacion excelente para<br />

una junta international.<br />

Deseo mencionar nuestro nuevo programa en la<br />

Asociacion <strong>National</strong> de Cooperativas Electricas<br />

Rurales (NRECA). NRECA ha acumulado muchos<br />

anos de experiencia international trabajando con<br />

cooperativas electricas existentes y en el desarrollo<br />

de las nuevas. Ahora agregamos a dicha capacidad,<br />

la habilidad de suministrar asistencia tecnica a 10s<br />

pakes en desarrollo en el area de pequenas plantas<br />

hidroelectricas decentralizadas. Este programa ha<br />

sido posible mediante un convenio cooperative entre<br />

NRECA y la Oficina de Enerda de USAID en<br />

Washington, D.C. Las plantas hidroelectricas de<br />

menos de 1 MW de capacidad son el motivo de<br />

nuestro enfoque. Nuestras actividades incluyen. pero<br />

no estin limidas a:<br />

* Servicios de consulta<br />

0 E studios especiales<br />

0 Conferencias y seminarios, tal <strong>com</strong>a la presente<br />

* Estudios de prefactibilidad y factibilidad<br />

* Aticulos especiales, manuales y reportes<br />

workshop summary and<br />

e<strong>com</strong>mendations<br />

David Zoellner<br />

Before summarizing what has been a very<br />

productive workshop, I wou!d like to make a few<br />

remarks.<br />

In particular, I wish to express my thanks to<br />

the Ecuadorian cosponsors of the workshop: the<br />

lnstituto Geional de Energia (INE) and the<br />

Institute Ecuadoriano de Electrification<br />

(INECEL). The substance of the conference was<br />

greatly enhanced by the insight, assistance and<br />

cooperation provided by the members of INE<br />

and INECEL.<br />

To the U.S. Agency for Internatinnai Develop-<br />

ment (USAID) Energy Office, I would like to<br />

express my appreciation for providing the<br />

resources that made this conference possible.<br />

Just as important to all of us is the contribution<br />

made by the USAID Mission in Quito. They pro-<br />

vided the considerable staff effort that an inter-<br />

rational conference like this requires. Thank<br />

YOU.<br />

Finally, a word of thanks to the City of Quito.<br />

It is an WUXllt?iIt location for an international<br />

meeting.<br />

I want to mention our new program at the<br />

<strong>National</strong> Rural Electric Cooperative Association<br />

(NRECA). NRECA has had years of international<br />

experience in working with existing and deveiop-<br />

ing new electric cooperatives. We now add to<br />

that the capabi!ity to provide technical<br />

assistance to developing countries in the area of<br />

small decentralized hydropower. This program<br />

has <strong>com</strong>e about through a cooperative agree-<br />

ment between NRECA and the USAID Energy<br />

Office in Washington, D.C. Our focus is on<br />

hydroelectric plants with less than 1 MW of<br />

capacity. Our activities include, but are not<br />

limited to:<br />

* Consulting services<br />

l Special studies<br />

l Workshops and seminars such as this one<br />

l Prefeasibility and feasibility studies<br />

0 Special papers, manuals and reports<br />

0 A worldwide data base on small hydro<br />

systems<br />

* A training program
