The Energy Program dedicates its research and adaptation of technologies to harness energy from renewable resources like the sun, water, and wind, converting these into practical solutions for lighting and other power needs. With significant involvement in hydropower projects nationwide, this program is keenly focused on sustainable energy production. Our current project is centred around training for small-scale biogas plant installations, a critical step towards local energy independence. The overarching goal of the Energy Program is to enhance the quality of life in rural communities by providing access to renewable energy sources, while simultaneously minimizing environmental impact. We strive to make use of locally available energy resources, either by developing new devices and techniques or adopting existing ones, that are aptly suited for community use. By doing so, we're helping communities transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. It includes various activities such as:
Our primary mission is to develop technologies and strategies to enhance the quality of life within Papua New Guinea's communities, particularly focusing on rural regions. We aim to foster and assist sustainable and culturally sensitive rural development, conduct cutting-edge research into the use and development of suitable technologies, and to prepare and disseminate insightful reports and information booklets on these appropriate technologies. The overarching goal of the Energy Program is to enhance the quality of life in rural communities by providing access to renewable energy sources, while simultaneously minimizing environmental impact.
Below are project implemented by ATCDI with support and funding from partners organisations in Papua New Guinea and abroad.
The Pico hydro project was funded by ADRA and installed by ATCDI in 2018.The power output was 500 W. Our program goes beyond merely providing access to renewable energy. It is fundamentally designed to improve the quality of life in rural communities while minimizing environmental impact. By developing and adopting devices and techniques suited to local conditions and resources, we aim to build a future where clean energy is not only accessible but also tailored to meet the unique needs of each community. Our ultimate goal is to transform energy consumption patterns, making them more sustainable and less impactful on our planet.

The Pico hydro was installed in 2021 by ATCDI in Gobadik village near Busu river. The average power output was 600 W. A significant portion of our work centers on hydroelectric power projects across the nation.

The Energy Program actively engages in researching and adapting innovative technologies to harness energy from renewable sources such as the sun, water, and wind. By converting these resources into practical solutions for lighting and other power requirements, we strive to bring reliable, clean energy to a broader audience. A significant portion of our work centers on hydroelectric power projects across the nation. Our current project, however, targets a different facet of the energy spectrum - small-scale biogas plant installations. Through comprehensive training initiatives, we're equipping individuals and communities with the skills to harness biogas energy sustainably and efficiently.
