Following on from the Task 9 workshop in Jakarta in March 2001, organized in collaboration with the Swiss Economic Cooperation Agency and the ASEAN Centre for Energy, Task 9 held a workshop with the Canadian International Development Agency and Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa on the 14th September. This workshop was held as a part of the ongoing programme of providing support to, and cooperating with, bilateral and multi-lateral organizations.

The objectives of the meeting were to inform participants on the design of PV power systems and to provide an overview of successful applications of PV deployment in developing countries and an analysis of the potential pitfalls. The workshop also reviewed Canadian capabilities in the provision of PV systems in developing countries.

The workshop was attended by over 50 participants, some 25 from CIDA, and others from CANMET and the Canadian PV industry. Feedback from the participants has been very positive.

Proceedings from the event will be made available through this website.
