1000 Islands - Rural Electrification through Renewable Energy, Phase 1

active

As part of the pilot phase of the 1000 Islands Renewable Energy for Electrification Program, the state-owned electricity supplier and project sponsor PLN is to be supported in increasing the electrification rate in remote regions of the Indonesian archipelago by using locally available renewable energy resources while at the same time reducing the costly and climate-damaging diesel-based power supply. The project is thus intended to contribute to a more climate- and environmentally friendly energy supply and to the social and economic development of disadvantaged rural regions in Indonesia. The regional focus of the pilot phase is NusaTenggara Timur (NTT).
