Electicity from Gliricidia plants

Rural energy problem has solved in some villages of Sri Lanka by providing electricity using dendro-energy.

Due to the harmful effects of climate change by certain fuels, Thurunushakthi Development Foundation has supported the creation of a dendro power plant. Dendro power, which is fuelwood-based energy, can function as an alternative energy source that has less negative effects on the environment. The dendro power project was located in a remote village in Balangoda district and will be used for domestic lighting.

The fuel source for the power plant is Gliricidia trees which grow in the village. Dendro power will be available for a fee by 30 houses in the village. However, it will be free for certain community centers such as the temple, school, Grama Nildhari office and training center for disabled children. By using dendropower, Thurunushakthi Development Foundation hopes to improve energy efficiency of Gliricidia and to make the community aware of alternative, more environmentally-friendly forms of energy.
