---On 26 October 2007, the 1st CDM
capacity-building training course for SHP (small hydropower)
that was sponsored by Rural Hydropower & Electrification
Development Bureau, Ministry of Water Resources, was successfully
concluded, and this training was organized by the National
Research Institute for Rural Electrification (NRIRE),
Ministry of Water Resources in Hangzhou. During this training,
great attention has been paid from Rural Hydropower &
Electrification Development Bureau, with the leaders to
present on the training. Our institute, NRIRE, made every
effort to prepare and compile the teaching materials on
"CDM Project Development Document (PDD) for SHP".
The training period was short, however, with pretty substantial
and practical content the training course achieved the
expectation and was highly evaluated by the participants.
The 4-day training suitcases 8 special subjects, such
as concept of CDM, CDM project flow-chart & SHP market,
SHP CDM methodology, international carbon market development
analysis, opportunity & risk in the international
cooperation for SHP CDM, etc., which combined case studies
and exchanges to make participants understand the significance
of CDM implementation in hydropower sector.
All the participants expressed their appreciations for
everything organized during the training. On the evaluating
questionnaires, participants fully affirmed the achievements
of this training course and gave a score of 92.58 (the
total is 100). Cherishing the profound friendship among
staffs working in the hydropower industry, participants
earnestly hoped that our institute could explore more
chances for them to exchange the experience and promote
the mutual progress. At the same time, these participants
made valuable suggestions for our work, which no doubt
would be helpful to us in future.(2007-11-06)
