List of Technical Barriers in the Development of Renewable Energy.
Lack of Capacity in Project Packaging and Presentation Among RE Project Proponents
While there is a modest level of knowledge in doing technical and economic studies, there is inadequate capacity in packaging projects and in presenting bankable projects.
Inadequacies in the Area of RE Technology Development
Lack of Competence
Local technicians and end-users are still largely unfamiliar with the application of RE technologies.
Lack of Product Standards, Quality Control Measures, Testing and Verification
The quality of materials and other components of RE technologiesare not adequately monitored, allowing the entry of sub-standard equipment.
Reliance on Imports
The market for RE is underdeveloped, thus making the local production of RE products or components an unattractive investment opportunity.
