Local villagers happy with their electricity

In Juli 2018 3 villages in Sumba were provided with off grid sustainable energy systems.
One system includes one mini wind turbine and solar PV panels and led lighting for all houses. Each system will supply energy for 15 – 25 houses. At the beginning of this year, residents of the villages were trained to maintain the hybrid systems. These people will also be involved in the construction of the 3 wind turbines next to the villages. We hope that several residents have the ambition to be involved in the future wind farm.

Learn all about Hivos and Sumba Iconic Island

Energy is a vital driving force for development. Access to energy can alleviate poverty, improve living conditions and propel economic development. However, taking the fossil fuel route straight towards climate change will have disastrous effects, especially for developing countries. Hivos therefore stimulates sustainable development fuelled by clean, renewable energy.

Hivos’ Renewable Energy programme focuses on governments and large corporations as well as people without access to modern forms of energy. Hivos and its partners demonstrate that renewable energy is not a pipe dream or an alternative, but simply the best choice. We do that by making simple, smart and clean off-grid technologies accessible to poor people in remote areas, like biodigesters, biomass briquetting and solar power systems, or mini-grids running on liquid biofuels, amongst others.

Sumba’s energy needs

Meet Island Sumba, an Indonesian island home to more than 650,000 people. Many of them do not have access to energy, which makes living conditions difficult. At night there is no light to do homework for example, or to continue working. Electricity that is available is generated with diesel generators. This is going to change. Hivos, in collaboration with others such as governments, the energy company and anyone who wishes to cooperate, is going to supply Sumba of 100% sustainable energy. Access to energy is something everyone is entitled to, and furthermore a vital condition to create more prosperity.
