INCLUSIVE ACCESS TO ENERGY: CASE OF SUMBA ICONIC ISLAND INITIATIVE

Fabby Tumiwa

Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), Jakarta-Indonesia

Situation in 2010/2011: ✤ 700 thousand inhabitants, 1/3 is living below poverty

line✤ Only 1 of 4 households has access to electricity✤ 2 - 3 kWh/day average electricity consumption✤ Average income per capita Rp. 1.8 mil ($170) per

capita, >1/4 of average national income (2008)

✤ Electricity demand would be tripled in 20 years

✤ 85% of power supplied by diesel generator (2010)

✤ Vast renewable energy potential: hydro, solar, wind, and vast land for biomass or energy crops plantation

0011

Sumba Iconic Island✤ Alleviating poverty and fighting climate

change by increasing access to energy from renewable sources.

✤ Demonstrate the utilisation on site renewable energy potential to supply energy to households, productive use, and economic activities.

✤ Platform for partnership and coordinated actions of various stakeholders (Governments, state-owned electricity company, development agencies, donor organisation, NGOs, CBOs, private companies, investors, etc) to reach a goal.

✤ Goal: 95% of population is electrified supplied by 100% renewable sources by 2025.

Collaboration & Partnership✤ Blueprint and Action Plan SII 2011-2025 ~

updated regularly

✤ Identify barriers (policy, regulation, licenses and permits) for project implementation, communicate those barriers to respective agencies, develop enabling environment for investment

✤ Synchronised planning and project implementation for on-grid and off-grid, biogas, improve cook-stove (ICS), productive end-use, etc.

✤ Funding coordination

✤ Capacity building to local government, local communities, local NGOs

✤ Promotion and outreach

✤ Tracking progress and result

✤ Linking and communicate SII initiative with the IESR’s national campaign ~ Ending Energy Poverty 2025 and SE4ALL implementation in Indonesia.

✤ Facilitate dialogue of various stakeholders in regular meetings.

✤ Identify potential community RE projects (micro/pico hydro, solar PV) to be developed in the near future, exercising Energy Delivery Model toolkit.

In conclusion

✤ Sumba Iconic Island is a collaborative work of various stakeholders (governments, business (SOE, private), NGOs/community) to achieve an agreed goal.

✤ It has clear target, objective and planning. Planning is regularly updated and implementation is regularly monitored, and the activity is well coordinated.

✤ It encourage and facilitate all stakeholders to come with their expertise and resources and make contribution to meet the goal.

✤ It demonstrates the “inclusive access to energy” both for process and result/impact.

✤ It gives example of bottom-up energy provision strategy that could contribute to the best practice of Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Initiative implementation in the South East Asia.
