RE & EE Resource centre (RC)• One of the main components of the “Local Renewables Model
Communities Network” project.
• The idea - establish a hub/focal point of all Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency related activities in the city.
• RC– Has comprehensive resource base of information – Has Physical exhibition of models related to Renewable
Energy and Energy Efficiency techniques. – Is a platform for all relevant stakeholders (citizens /
manufacturers / banks / institutions etc.) to meet and exchange information on RE and EE.
Local RenewablesModel Communities NetworkModel Communities NetworkObjectives of RE & EE Resource
centre • To provide information on RE and EE
• To raise awareness and education about RE and EE
• To facilitate exchange and collaboration between different stakeholders for effective information sharing, technology transfer and fund mobilization.

Models Display in the RC and its utility
• Solar Panel – Models show the scope for decentralized electricity.
• Solar caps – Practical visualization of solar power generation in rotating the fan in the cap. Its best use can be made during the summer in avoiding sun strokes.
• Solar helmets – Similar utilities of solar power for the traffic police.
• Solar Lantern – Solar powered lantern for power emergencies.
• Wind turbine – A model to demonstrate the use of wind power to generate electricity.
