Micro Hydro Pioneer in Indonesia

This picture was taken during a GTZ supported training in Swiss. There are 3 people that I personally know. Far left is pak Iskandar who is now active in IBEKA Foundation. He now focuses on micro hydro project management/development instead of turbine manufacturing. The one in the middle is pak Kusetiadi who is the director of PT.Heksa Prakarsa Teknik, a well known turbine manufacturer. The third person is pak Muh Enoh who is now teaching in State University of Padang, West Sumatera. He is producing turbine and also developing micro hydro project.

Those people are considered as the pioneer of modern micro hydro in Indonesia. Private turbine manufacturer, except people in Sulawesi and Papua, use the knowledge transfered by GTZ supported project in the 90's and in 00's. Crossflow turbines produced in Indonesia are using basic design introduced by a project supported by GTZ except those produced by local producer in Sulawesi.
