JAKARTA - The think-tank Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) has begun exploring villages that have the potential to transition to renewable energy.
IESR's Net Zero Emission Bali Program Staff Laili Asdiyan Salsabila in Denpasar, Wednesday, April 30, said there were 3-4 villages that were eyed to follow the success of the independent village energy of Keliki Village, Gianyar.
"We found that there are three to four villages that have the potential for 2025 to be used as implementations of renewable energy projects at the village level in different districts in the province of Bali," he said, quoting Antara.
IESR saw that since Keliki Village became a pilot for the G20, villages in Bali have given positive signals that they want to run the same program and transform into eco-village tourism.
"Judging from the adoption of PLTS on the scale of public facilities in Keliki Village, it hones the spirit of other villages, there are those who ask when my village will be formed from PLTS, whether my village has potential, whether my village is capable of it," said Laili.
Finally, due to limited costs, IESR collaborated with the Bali Provincial Government to explore finding potential villages and indeed needed this assistance.
Several districts are targeted to be equipped with renewable energy such as Karangasem and Buleleng, and mapping is still ongoing.

"We are expanding the reach of potential, maybe the east side or the west side of Bali Province, the implementation of renewable energy, especially in public facilities because after we study, the potentials for public facilities such as TPS3R, electricity pumps, subaks, and others are very large," he said.
Later the elected village will receive assistance and guidance related to the energy transition, but those who are elected must be committed to continuing future maintenance through BUMDes or cooperative costs.
The institution, which is the partner of the government in this energy and environmental policy, sees that the economic turnaround will occur in an energy-independent village.
Therefore, later together with the Bali Provincial Government, they will be selective in seeing the potential of the village so that this program does not fail, such as determining the conditions of solar sweeping if they want to install PLTS or reservoir activities if they install hydropower.
