In the spotlight
"What I have learned in my Masters is what I am applying today in my career. I have
brought back home my learning and experience in Denmark to make a significant contribution to my community here, like through our joint project with the Dhaulagri Community
Resources Development Centre that aims to develop an alternative sustainable income
activity for the impoverished Kumal community through the efficient use of spill energy
from an existing micro hydropower plant. I want to thank GSEP for its support, because without the ESED scholarship,
this would not have been possible for me."
A 2006 ESED Scholar, Mr. Baral attended Aalborg University in Denmark and completed a Masters degree in Sustainable
Energy Planning and Management. After returning to Nepal, Mr. Baral established a professionally-run development
and management consulting firm, MIT Solutions (P) Ltd., which provides out-of-the-box solutions that are reliable and
efficient in achieving sustainable growth and development in the country. He is Managing Director, and leads their
Technology Transfer and Renewable Energy section. In addition, he teaches at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Kathmandu University as visiting faculty for the Masters Program in Planning and Operation of Energy Systems.

An important milestone was reached this year as our Galapagos San Cristbal Island Wind
Project entered its sixth year of operations. Since its commissioning in 2007, we are glad to
report that the project has been operating sustainably, both environmentally and financially.
With three 800 kW wind turbines, our project was the first large-scale wind project in
Ecuador. An iconic symbol of the success of localized sustainable energy development, the
project has displaced a total of one third of diesel consumption on San Cristbal.
We developed and constructed one of the worlds largest hybrid projects for which there
was no precedent in Ecuador. The fact that the project was developed in the fragile ecosystem
of the Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site, raised the stakes even further. We were
committed to designing and constructing the project in strict compliance with environmental
laws and the recommended environmental safeguards. The results matched these high
performance expectations: since its commercial start-up in 2007, no petrels, an endangered
indigenous bird on the islands, have been injured because of the wind turbines.
The projects impressive track record and success rest on sensible management and a
willingness by the local community and national government to try new, different approaches
to introducing renewable energy on San Cristbal. The national government established new
policies to enable renewable power to be deployed and endorsed a new electricity price
tariff based on costs to generate power with the local wind resource. The training of the
project facilities operations and maintenance staff ensures the existence of highly qualified
professionals on the Galapagos Islands. Developing the technical and management skills of the
local population has increased their confidence in renewable energy projects.
Our partners are proud that the Galapagos San Cristbal Island Wind Project has been a
national pioneer in the use of wind resources and served as a reference for the development
of similar projects both in the Galapagos Islands and on Ecuadors mainland. Close collaboration
with our local partners, along with a strong design and a trustworthy team, have ensured the
projects successful operations since 2007. This hand-in-hand approach allows us to mark this
important milestone in our mission to promote sustainable energy development. Our legacy,
as with this flagship Project, is that our partners are keenly interested in sharing and replicating
their success locally and globally. This is a testament to the positive impact of our mission.
