10. Completed Village Electrificationby NPC-SPUG • Existing Solar Photovoltaic Battery Charging Station: • 259 Villages were energized as of December 2003 • Total capacity is 81 kWp • Total number of household served is 5,400 Village Power Workshop, Hanmer Springs, New Zealand, November 8-10, 2004

11. Village Power Process Flow (1) • Identify/Select Village for electrification • Collect Preliminary Data • Secure spot maps, municipal maps • Population & economic data • Conduct Actual Inspection • Survey of the community layout • Initiate dialogue with beneficiaries • Secure community endorsement • Design & Cost Estimate • Determine viable power system • Design size of power equipment, structures, and distribution line network • Secure latest market price of equipment and materials Village Power Workshop, Hanmer Springs, New Zealand, November 8-10, 2004

12. Village Power Process Flow (2) • Procurement • Prepare Tender Documents • Conduct pre-qualification of contractors • Conduct public bidding • Award contract • Implementation • Delivery and storage of equipment and materials • Construction of structures and installation of equipment • Test and commissioning • Acceptance Village Power Workshop, Hanmer Springs, New Zealand, November 8-10, 2004
