He has also been awarded the Ashoka Fellowship (given to those who have excelled in Social Entrepreneurship). As a micro-hydro entrepreneur, he started his first Micro Hydropower (MHP) plant in Barpak (Gorkha) (generating 130kW of electricity). After his first project in Barpak he started promoting awareness and social benefits of hydropower energy and so far, his contribution has electrified more than 4000 household. He then established Hydro Energy Concern Pvt. Ltd. (HEC) in 1995 with an aim to contribute towards the private sector capacity in micro, mini and small hydropower projects. HEC believes that the economic and social development as well as the low environmental impact related to MHP represent the three inseparable pillars of sustainable development of Nepal, confirming that MHP can serve as an energy source for sustainable development. |

Inspired by her family's roots in rural India, Dipti focuses on sustainability of decentralized renewable energy solutions for rural electrification. Since 2006 her parallel roles as researcher, practitioner, and facilitator have helped to synergize communities, local entrepreneurs, field-based NGOs, policy makers, and funding agencies in implementing bottom up, learning-process approaches to community-based energy initiatives in rural south and southeast Asia. In 2012 she co-founded the Hydro Empowerment Network (HPNET), a knowledge exchange platform for local practitioners to advance policy, technology, and socio-environmental aspects of micro/mini hydropower. In 2014 and 2015, she assisted the Renewable Energy Association of Myanmar (REAM) to conduct practice-to-policy exchanges that promote scaled efforts for renewable energy mini-grids in Myanmar. Dipti is a 2016 Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellow placed in Myanmar to support mini-grids integration in the National Electrification Plan. |

Renewable energy mini-grids are a widely discussed solution for cost-effective and reliable energy access. However, within the mini-grids dialogue micro and mini hydropower (MHP)1 is often overlooked, despite the large number of beneficial projects operating globally, particularly in rural regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Many MHP systems originated as water mills that were upgraded to generate electricity (e.g. Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India). Some have transitioned from isolated mini-grids to grid-interconnected systems (e.g. Indonesia and Sri Lanka). As a proven technology with a long track record, micro/mini hydropower is the focus of this webinar series, which will also analyze similarities and differences among the various mini-grid technologies. Each webinar in the series will focus on a distinct and relevant topic, namely Technology Differentiation, Grid-Interconnection, and Productive End Use.
The objectives of this webinar series are to strengthen the sector by:
- facilitating exchange among field practitioners, regional and international experts
- creating awareness on up-to-date developments, barriers and opportunities.
[1] In this context, micro hydropower refers to <100kW, and mini hydropower refers to 100 - 1000 kW (or 1MW).
