From Crises to Innovations
Fuel shortages, high costs and climate change are some of the factors that has led European countries to pursue alternative renewable energy. In the early 1970s, these three SII donor countries experienced first hand the dangers of overreliance on fossil fuels. It is for those reason that they are now collaborating with Indonesia to bring about water, wind, solar, and biomass technology solutions.
Switching on Lights, Saving Valuable Lives
Thanks to the SII project villages, schools, churches, and government offices can now rely on renewable alternative energy. Yet, hospitals and community clinics continue to be dependent on costly diesel fuels –puting at risk medical care for hundreds of thousands of people. For Investors and donors, Sumba’s 37 MW of untapped biomass and wind, solar, and microhydro-power is the perfect venture to jumpstart Indonesia’s alternative energy future.
Sumba’s Collective Opportunities
Regulations, distribution of authority, and geological conditions are some of the challenges facing the SII project. Yet the project continue to record impressive progress with commitments from existing stakeholders and new partners alike as well as the involvement of individuals and communities. 37 MW of alternative renewable energy is ready to be harvested, positioning Sumba as a development model for Indonesia –with support from new investor partners!
