Community Power from Mobile (CPM) December 13, 2010
I wonder if this has any relevance for getting power in/around Fantsuam
The info below is from http://mobileactive.org/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nearly 1.6 million people in the world live without access to electricity. This is a quarter of all humanity. At the same time, off-grid power stations from mobile towers often produce excess energy.
A new initiative from the GSMA Development Fund in partnership with Lighting Africa, International Finance Corporation and World Bank, seeks to combine this lack of electricity with excess power from mobile stations. The resulting project is called the Community Power from Mobile (CPM) initiative.
