Our approach:
• Holistic, long-term energy development
• Combined energy access and development
• Inclusive, bottom-up planning
• All technologies, all financial models
• Multi-stakeholder
• Inspirational goals
• Joint vision and ambition, not a fixed plan
“100% renewable energy”
A groundbreaking, globally replicable initiative to provide energy to people and businesses.
Why Sumba?• Remote island, high costs for fossil fuels
• Low density population of 660,000
• High poverty rate: average incomes are ¼ of national average
• Low access to electricity: 24.5%
• Wide variety of potential renewable energy sources: wind, solar, hydro, biogas and biomass
• Support by provincial, local government and PLN
• Transport links to Jakarta via Bali or Kupang

On-grid activities• Electrification ratio increased from 24% to 37% in 4 years
• PLN, independent producers: Increased hydro capacity
• BPPT: 500kW centralized solar PV system in West Sumba
• Sewatama, Hivos: 850kW wind turbine (in preparation)
• MEMR: 1MW biomass plant (in preparation 2015-2016)
• PLN: Grid extensions and improvements
• Feasibility studies for pumped water storage options by AFD/CR

wiring range walking distance range
4 - 6 km 1.5 km
• Only 154 of 352 villages in Sumba are electrified
• Community-based solutions
• Micro-hydros
• Revitalization of broken mini-grid
• Strengthen community capacity for OM
Off grid• PLN’s solar home systems
(SEHEN): good penetration, but
need to ensure sustainability
• ‘Energy kiosks’ providing sales
and extension services
• Domestic biogas from Hivos/SNV
for clean cooking and high
quality, affordable fertilizer
• Solar PV irrigation pumps for
farmers’ groups
• Schools electrification with
charging station extended
services
Economic development• Increased yields from irrigation and organic fertilizers
• Improved options for post-harvest processing and handling
• Sector development in biogas, biomass, etc.
• Power in communities for productive use and micro-enterprises
• Improved grid reliability provides new commercial opportunities
Key factors – ways to move forward• Robust improvements towards existing policies to attract investment
• Creates enabling environment for small renewable business development (micro IPPs)
• Removing barriers for 2020 roadmap acceleration
• Strengthen and continuing building capacity of local stakeholders
• Promoting gender balance active participation
• Addressing people’s energy needs beyond lighting
• Replicable concept aligned with stakeholder interests in other islands
