“…This is slightly different from the 8140.6 KWh proposed by Mirza and Szirmai (2010) , which would be deemed an acceptable threshold to realize a 0.8 level on the Human Development Index (HDI). Sambodo and Novandra (2019) defined energy-poor households as those households that consumed electricity below 32.4 KWh per month. They constituted households that used solar panels with a 20-W peak and four light-emitting diodes.…”

This paper adopted an inter-indicator analytical approach to investigate the state of energy poverty in Rwanda. It used a nationally representative sample of 14458 households from Rwanda's Integrated Living Standard Survey conducted between October 2016 and October 2017. The first indicator entailed a multidimensional analysis of energy poverty using eleven pointers of energy deprivation. Each pointer was assigned a weight using principal component analysis to form a household energy poverty index. The paper also employed a ‘modified’ expenditure-based approach that emphasizes affordability and accessibility. This is the approach on which the second indicator of energy poverty was based. This constituted an examination of different levels of household income and energy expenditure patterns as well as the use of biomass for cooking. The results from the multidimensional analysis revealed that the most energy-poor households were concentrated in the southern (30.15%), western (27.69%) and northern (24.86%) provinces of Rwanda. In contrast, ‘the least energy-poor are mostly found in urban areas of the country. A cross-comparison with the second approach showed different magnitudes of energy poverty incidences. Nonetheless, similar trends were observed in terms of areas of concentration of energy poverty. Last, the results from multilevel binary logistic regressions showed that household size, income poverty, education level of the head of the family, rural location and Kigali residentship were determinants of energy poverty.

“…As the world’s 10th largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, Indonesia has made a sustainable progress in poverty reduction, reducing the poverty rate to 9.4% in 2019. However, there is no official policy in place to increase the charge to the waste generators ( Sambodo and Novandra, 2019 ).…”

Over the past years, Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, has confronted environmental problems due to uncontrolled generation of municipal solid waste (MSW). While the integrated solid waste management (ISWM) represents a critical strategy for Indonesia to control its production, it is also recognized that economic approaches also need to be promoted to address the waste problem concertedly. In this case study, empirical approaches are developed to understand how a volume-based waste fee could be incorporated into MSW collection services and how to apply a zero-waste approach in Indonesia by adapting resource recovery initiatives, adapted from Germany’s mature experiences in integrating the CE paradigm into the latter’s MSWM practices. Currently, Sukunan village (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) promotes waste reduction at sources in the framework of community-based solid waste management (CBSWM) by mobilizing the local community for waste separation (organic and non-organic) and waste recycling. As a result, about 0.2 million Mt of CO 2-eq emissions was avoided annually from local landfills. The economic benefits of recycling activities by the village’s community also resulted in 30% reduction of the waste generated. This CBSWM scheme not only saves the government budget on waste collection, transport and disposal, but also extends the lifetime of local landfills as the final disposal sites. By integrating the CE paradigm into its MSWM practices through the implementation of economic instruments and adherence to the rule of law in the same way as Germany does, Indonesia could make positive changes to its environmental policy and regulation of MSW. A sound MSWM in Indonesia could play important roles in promoting the effectiveness of urban development with resource recovery approaches to facilitate its transition towards a CE nationwide in the long-term.

“…On a positive note, solar PV already contributes to the electrification of rural communities. As part of a government programme, over 360,000 solar-powered lamps have been distributed across Indonesian communities [18,70]. These and other efforts seem to pay off and the recorded performance of the off-grid solar system should be an encouragement to promote even more solar systems in Indonesia both on-and off-grid.…”

Review of Renewable Energy Potentials in Indonesia and Their Contribution to a 100% Renewable Electricity System

Indonesia has an increasing electricity demand that is mostly met with fossil fuels. Although Indonesia plans to ramp up Renewable Energy Technologies (RET), implementation has been slow. This is unfortunate, as the RET potential in Indonesia might be higher than currently assumed given the archipelago’s size. However, there is no literature overview of RET potentials in Indonesia and to what extent they can meet current and future electricity demand coverage. This paper reviews contemporary literature on the potential of nine RET in Indonesia and analyses their impact in terms of area and demand coverage. The study concludes that Indonesia hosts massive amounts of renewable energy resources on both land and sea. The potentials in the academic and industrial literature tend to be considerably larger than the ones from the Indonesian Energy Ministry on which current energy policies are based. Moreover, these potentials could enable a 100% renewables electricity system and meet future demand with limited impact on land availability. Nonetheless, the review showed that the research topic is still under-researched with three detected knowledge gaps, namely the lack of (i) economic RET potentials, (ii) research on the integrated spatial potential mapping of several RET and (iii) empirical data on natural resources. Lastly, this study provides research and policy recommendations to promote RET in Indonesia.
