Light in East Indonesia
In East Indonesia, where electricity access is still limited, evenings are often spent in darkness. To generate electricity in east Indonesia, especially thousands of remote islands in Maluku province, is not easy.
Renewable energy offers an alternative solution so those that live in remote areas of eastern Indonesia can have sustainable and adequate electricity access. The following videos explore NZMATES activities to support generating renewable energy access in Maluku province. To #spreadthelightinEastIndonesia
