The PLN component includes: (a) electrification of 7000 rural villages in the second and third years of Repelita VI; (b) economic subtransmission schemes aimed at promoting private sector participation in small scale generation by interconnecting captive power plants, cogeneration plants and other small power producers; (c) development of five mini-hydro power projects; (d) pilot projects to test the adaptability of low cost "low tech" equipment designs, low cost network reticulation designs and more efficient construction management methods for full scale implementation at a subsequent stage; and (e) expansion of the ongoing rural business services component to promote productive uses of electricity, including the participation of the nongovernmental organizations; and (f) provide technical assistance for systems planning capability and institutional reform. The MOC component include: (a) implementation support for expansion of schemes of local participation by village level cooperatives and organizations in power distribution related activities; and (b) preparation of up to two geographic areas for possible conversion to a "Pola III" mode of organization, wherein responsibility for all distribution functions include ownership of assets is transferred from PLN to a third party.
