what's new?
During the first quarter of 2002, IRP
has been preparing the first phase of the in-country implementation of
the RAPS project. With the support
of international and national professionals, IRP has set the ground in
the village of Padre Cocha to start up operations.
A major milestone of the project is
the shipping of the major components of the RAPS systems into Region Loreto,
in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon Basin.
State-of-the-art batteries and electronic
controlers have already arrived in Loreto for the building of the modules
and components that have the sole purpose to provide quality energy supply
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
More important, the available energy
will be provided in a clean way, to preserve the environment of the communities
that IRP will serve.
On August 23 and 24, 2002, community
members of Padre Cocha showed their efforts and total buy in for
the RAPS Project. The support of adult s--men and women-- and children
to IRP and the technical team was overwhelming. The entire community stood
up and supported the set up process of the major components of the RAPS
system. Learn more about this community empowerment
reached in Padre Cocha. See pictures
of this major effort online.
