2-2 Example of Projects: Development history of PV in Japan• Japan has contributed the cost reduction of Photovoltaic cell modules to
1/200 through the 40-year National “Sunshine Project” since 1974.(NEDO
has been leading the Sunshine Project for 35years.)

3-3 Example (2) : Ultra-Low Head micro hydro powerin Kenya
and Ethiopia
Summary of NEDO’s Feasibility study• Rural electrification project for communities by micro hydropower in Ethiopia andKenya.
⇒ Technical and business surveys to introduce ultra-low-head microhydropower (ULH-MHP) system in off-grid communities.

Results• The potential of ULH-MHP with heads less than 5 m was 1,552 places inKenya.
• 130,000 ton of CO2 reduction was estimated if the system wereintroduced for these 1,500 places.
• The payback period is 4.4 years by free cash flow.
Adopted NEDO results

・The system can generate at head ofless than 3m and small canals.
