PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Renewable Energy for Electrification Programme’s implementation strategy employs a holistic, bottom-up approach that takes into account the diverse aspects regarding technology, research and finance while observing the issues of renewable energy in Indonesia. The monitoring system will also be used for training purposes and capacity building of the stakeholders such as EBTKE, Directorate General of Electricity (DJK), PLN and private sector. After the completion of two pilot grids, REEP will continue with three other island grids in the scaling-up phase. Results from 5 island grids, including power system planning for the next 10 years will be incorporated in PLN’s electricity procurement business plan (RUPTL). Furthermore, the results will also replicate to more than 600 grids across Indonesia. REEP will also disseminate the results of pilot projects through trainings to PLN and private sectors. The training will include the know-how of creating business proposals.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Outside the islands of Java and Bali, and particularly in the less developed eastern regions of Indonesia, many people still have no access to electricity. The “1000 Islands” programme utilises small hydropower plants and solar mini-grids to contribute to environmentally sound and climate-friendly energy supply and thus to social and economic development in remote regions of Indonesia.
