Overcoming barriers to renewable energy in rural Indonesia by community capacity building

A UNSW-ADRA/AusAID EFCC 011 Research Project

Project outline

The Australian Development Research Award (ADRA) EFC011 Project is an interdisciplinary research project involving UNSW staff in conjunction with Indonesian collaborators. The project is funded by AusAID through its ADRA 2007 funding round.

The objective of the project is to identify and disseminate ways to overcome barriers to the use of photovoltaic energy systems (PVES) and other renewable energy resources to facilitate sustainable development for communities in rural Indonesia that do not have access to conventional electricity supply.

In particular, the project aims to develop a better understanding of why some renewable energy projects succeed while others fail to facilitate sustainable rural development, and to transfer the practical know-how generated to policy makers, to those involved in project design and implementation and to rural communities. For more information see the media release and CEEM Newsletter.

Research work at UNSW associated with the project extends beyond Indonesia to include other Asian and Pacific Countries, particularly China, Nepal and Tonga.

UNSW Research Project Team:
Prof. Hugh Outhred - Principal Investigator
Dr. Maria Retnanestri - Research Leader, Indonesia researcher
Dr. Stephen Healy - Research Supervisor
Dr. Muriel Watt - Research Supervisor
Ms. Long Seng To (PhD Research Student) - China & Nepal researcher
Tevita Tukunga (PhD Research Student) - Tonga researcher
