Electrification through renewable energy (ELREN)
ELREN aimed at (a) improving conditions for functional and environmental-friendly operation and maintenance structures for renewable energy (RE) off-grid systems in Indonesia, (b) integrating standards for quality and scope of service into the design of off-grid RE electrification programs, and (c) improving coordination activities for off-grid electrification. The Directorate-General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) was supported in taking up a leadership and coordination role amongst various ministries involved in planning and managing rural electrification programs. Thereby, the project envisaged institutionalising knowledge about using RE for off-grid electrification in Indonesia.
