Korea has formed a new partnership with Indonesia to carry out projects that could provide water, renewable and clean energy to remote communities. These communities usually reside on the small islands within Indonesia’s jurisdiction and it is very difficult for them to obtain electricity from the grid. Its very common for these remote communities to rely heavily on diesel sources for their energy demands but such sources are usually unsustainable.
A lack of access to sustainable energy have often been cited as one of the leading causes for economic inequality. With access to reliable energy sources, the people might be able to improve productivity and seek out opportunities to better themselves. For example, if they have the ability to harness higher amount of energy, this might allow them to utilise mechanical automation thereby, freeing up time for family members (sometimes children) to pursue education.
Don’t get too worked up about using children for manual work. In such remote communities, there are limited manpower and it is very common for parents to rely on their children for back-breaking tasks.
That’s why sometimes they would like to have more children so that their children could help out with manual labour. If the parents could have access to cheap and reliable energy sources, they might reconsider their life decisions. Might.
At the moment, Korea and Indonesia want to work together to help 23 villages that are located in Central Kalimantan, Southeast Sulawesi, West Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara. They will build off-grid solar power plants which would be supported by remote monitoring systems. Each solar plant should be able to provide about 1.2 Mega Watt of energy.
Indonesia will also invite 100 young people across the country and promote them as energy ambassadors within the villages of Kalimantan and Papua. Interestingly… … these energy ambassadors will be tasked to support the mapping of natural resources so that the information could be used to improve the government’s development programme.
Hmmmmmmm………
Apart from infrastructure projects, they would develop training and certification for the solar plant operators. Korea will also provide funding of about USD15.5 million to support the project roll-out within Indonesia.
I am sure that many in Indonesia welcome this cooperation because it could create new employment and also increase access to safe and reliable water sources with renewable energy.
This is especially so during the COVID-19 pandemic, where hygiene and sanitation are very important.
