• DME is one of government program for renewable energy

development (EBT) in Indonesia; until the end of 2014

targeted 3000 DMEs.

• The goal is to ensure that rural communities have the

ability to meet energy independently, perform activities that

are productive, provide wider employment opportunities

and reduce poverty (pro-poor), strengthening the national

economy (pro-growth) and to improve the environment

(pro-planet) (Department of Energy and Mineral

Resources, 2009).

Kampung Tangsi Jaya is one of Gununghalu Sub-District (Regency), West

Bandung Regency. Most of community (almost 90% of productive labor

force) are working as farmers or farm laborers and horticultural crops (rice,

chilies, potatoes, coffee, tomatoes, etc.), and done traditionally.

Other businesses sector are very little, such as: 5 grocery

shops, one mobile phone shop, 4 persons as a carpenter,

two persons as a handyman motorcycle tire, and 5 as a

motorcycle taxi driver.

The education background of the community are still "low", where

the majority (approx. 90%) finished primary school, about 5% have

only junior high school (equivalent), 2.5% completed senior high

school or equivalent and no one vocational school graduates, the

rest about 2.5% illiterate.

Generally, the training (community empowerment program)

has been implemented top-down, rarely, and also are not

based on community needs.

MHP operated (turned on) between 4:00PM and off at about

07:00AM with a maximum power load of 13,000 Watts idle of

18,000 Watt available (remains of 5,000 watts).

MHP is just for lighting at night and use for coffee grinder every 3

months (harvest time) or when there are guests or “official" visit to

the village.

Findings:

1. MHP can help rural communities in opening new businesses

(enterprises) and improve their welfare, but it takes community

training based on the community needs.

2. Development training for “renewable energy community”

requires a comprehensive community potential exploration that

affects directly on their welfare improvement.

3. Vocational training has been counducted at rural communities

(Tangsi Jaya Village) can be applied to relatively low educated

community, but participants need to be classified (based on

educational background and work experience).

4. Community development and opportunities for micro and small

enterprises need to be done sustainably, and need more

intensive attention and support from the government.

5. Need to develop a better “cooperative (Koperasi) management”

to be able to manage the enterprises based on the utilization of

renewable energy sources in rural communities.
