Insufficient and inappropriate energy equipment

Nature 
Energy activities require technologies ranging from the simple to the sophisticated. The developing countries must import most of the equipment and materials from developed countries. Often the lack of knowledge of required equipment characteristics and evaluation of technical specification results in too sophisticated equipment or functional "mismatch".
