Indonesia EBTKE ConEx 2021 Forum is an integrated event dedicated to driving the growth and development of sustainable energy in Indonesia. The event presents an opportunity for all stakeholders, such as the government, private sector, as well as international and national organisations, to stay informed about the latest updates and innovations in renewable energy. This year, NZMATES hosted a virtual class on Wednesday 24th November, “Lessons Learned on Sustainability of Renewable Energy Mini Grids”.
The session started with a presentation from Desmon Simatupang, who gave presentation on sustainability of RE Mini Grids in Maluku and Maluku Utara, derived from a recently published paper in which NZMATES Programme Manager, Safitri Baharuddin was also one of the co-writers. In the second presentation, Imam Askolani, Renewable Energy Advisor at GIZ, shared the results of GIZ’s monitoring and evaluation survey of mini-grids from 2019. The last presentation was from NZMATES Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and Reporting Specialist, Dintani Naimah, who shared NZMATES’ own sustainability guidelines, based on detailed assessments of 15 mini-grids in Maluku.
