General description:

The project will involve the delivery of technical education and training services in the use of renewable energy (RE) systems. The presence of these services will assist the establishment of AIJ collaborative projects between Australia and Indonesia in the RE field.

The project will build a close working relationship between the agencies in Indonesia and Australia which are responsible for the establishment of AIJ projects; ie the Ministry of Environment and the International Greenhouse Partnerships Office, respectively. At an operational level, the project will also promote collaboration between relevant government agencies responsible for training in the RE field; ie. the International Centre for Application of Solar Energy (CASE) and the Appropriate Technology Division - Indonesian Institute of Sciences, (Balai Pengembangan Tecknolgi Tempat Guna (BPTTG - LIPI). With support from the Australian and Western Australian Government, CASE has been established to facilitate the transfer of RE technology to developing countries.

The first phase provided the foundation for the project and involved the following components; socioeconomic baseline study, marker definition and institutional capability analysis; development of train-the-trainer program; development of business plan and marketing strategy, development of training modules.

The effectiveness of the training is being demonstrated by undertaking a small scale RE demonstration . This demonstration unit, which was selected from candidate projects which were given priority status by BPTTG – LIPI, involves the installation of a hydro/solar/wind power system in the remote village of Kemiri in eastern Irian Jaya. Electricity from the power supply will be provided to the village workshop for food processing and simple agricultural tool repair.

Type of project:a)

Renewable energy

Location (exact, e.g. city, region,

state):

The demonstration system is designed to remain in operation beyond the completion of formal monitoring and reporting for AIJ purposes.

Technical data:d)

The system will comprise a 10 kW micro hydro turbine, 1.5 kW photovoltaic array, 2.5 kW wind turbine, 20 kVA inverter/charger and 132 kWh battery bank.

Describe the procedures, including name of organizations involved):

The electricity output of the demonstration system will be monitored to determine the total amount of electricity produced annually. This data will be used to validate and/or refine the estimated emission savings arising from the project. Further information on the determination of greenhouse gas emissions is contained in Section E of this report.

Describe (to the extent possible) how the activity is compatible with and supportive of national economic development and socioSeconomic and environment priorities and strategies

This project has a variety of non-greenhouse benefits.

The wide scale application of renewable energy systems across rural Indonesia coupled with a strong institutional capacity to train users and influence communities in the services arising from energy is fundamental to Indonesia’s efforts to bring about sustainable development. Moreover, examples around Asia show that national development is not progressing along an undifferentiated geographic space. Rural-urban migration is placing increasing pressures on urban infrastructures. By providing reliable sources of energy to rural communities and appropriate training and education programs which allows these communities to develop small-scale industry is a major step towards reducing the pressures on the built environment.

The early phases of the project have included undertaking a baseline socio-economic study for the village of Kemiri and the surrounding areas within Kabupaten Jayawijaya in Irian Jaya. The results of the baseline study, coupled with meetings with various decision makers in the Indonesian Government, revealed the opportunity for the installation/demonstration stage of the project to address a much broader range of community development needs.

Through the adoption of innovative and appropriate applications, such as the food-processing component of the village workshop to be established during the demonstration phase, it is clear that tangible development benefits could be achieved, over and above those originally envisaged in this project. The successful development of the village workshop concept would then lead to successful replication and sustainability within Kabupaten Jayawijaya.

In Indonesia, there are some 24 million rural households without electricity. The provision of electricity to these households is a major priority for the Indonesian Government. In recent years some 800,000 households have been provided with a new electricity supply each year, primarily by being connected into a centralised electricity grid.

A recent World Bank-funded study into solar-based rural electrification concluded that such systems could be an economically viable option for up to 25-40% of non-electrified households (ie. 6-10 million houses). Renewable energy technology typically has significantly less impact on the environment, both at a local and global level, than conventional energy sources (eg. coal, oil). By increasing the use of renewable energy where it is economically viable, the project will contribute to the twin goals of sustainable development and economic growth, particularly in the less economically endowed rural regions of Indonesia.

Describe environmental benefits in detail:

The aim is to increase the contribution of renewable energy in the mix of electricity generating options as community demand for electricity increases in step with their development, consequently avoiding the consumption of diesel fuel which is used to generate the electricity. The resultant reduction in diesel fuel consumption will have positive global environmental benefit through a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases. There will also be local environmental benefits from a reduction in the use of diesel including a reduction in local air pollution and a reduced risk of spillage of diesel fuel, which could potentially have a major adverse impact in an environmentally sensitive environment (eg. coral reefs).

Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of environmental benefits?

Yes

Describe social/cultural benefits in detail:

As outlined in Section C, the project will deliver a wide variety of social benefits.

In addition, the project will have positive socio-economic benefits through the increase in local employment to service renewable energy systems. The project will also have a positive impact on the balance of payments of Indonesia by reducing the domestic demand for petroleum products (diesel) and enabling Indonesia to remain an exporter of crude oil. There are good prospects for attaining a high local content from the use of renewable energy systems. Even in this initial project, the micro-hydro component of the demonstration system will be sourced for Indonesia.

Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of social benefits?

No

Describe economic benefits in detail:

The renewable energy project will reduce costs of providing a 24-hour/day electricity supply to rural areas of Indonesia. The provision of a 24-hour/day electricity supply at relatively low marginal cost opens up the prospects for village-based industry. The establishment of a village workshop, which will process locally grown food and repair agricultural equipment, is an integral part of the project. Increased food security for the local community and the potential to contribute high quality food products to the wider region are medium term aims.

Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of economic benefits?

Information gathered from this project will enable an assessment to be made of the costs and benefits of renewable energy systems for rural applications, in general, and as a basis for rural industry development, in particular.
