March 2018 – Decentralized Energy Supply Solutions
Steady economic growth as well as rapid urbanization
has led to a sharp increase in demand for energy in
Indonesia. The country has planned on building 35GW
worth of new electricity generating capacity by 2019.
However, only less than 10% of this program has entered
commercial operations. It was with this inmind that, from
March 20 to 22, EKONID collaborated with Renewable
Academics (RENAC) to host a German business mission
to Indonesia for the energy sector. As many as seven
German companies signed up for this program. The three-
day program was part of the initiative, “Energy Solutions
Made in Germany” organized by the Federal Ministry of
Economics and Energy (BMWi).
In Jakarta, presentation events and business meetings
were organized to provide opportunities for delegation
members to get direct insights from local stakeholders.
The German Embassy and the Director General for New
and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation at the
Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
were among key speakers at the seminar and over 120
participants were present. A further 44 individual in-house
meetings were successfully set up.
July 2018 – Waste Management Project in Tasikmalaya
In 2018, EKONID, supported by the German Federal
Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and
Nuclear Safety (BMU), successfully implemented its waste
management project. EKONID cooperated with lecturers
and students from Siliwangi University to conduct
a waste composition analysis of the Ciangir Landfill
in Tasikmalaya, West Java. Following this phase, an
intensive three-day training session on waste separation
at the household level was also organized from July 23-
