INSIDE STORY: Supporting the subnational development of renewable energy - Lessons from West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

The document analyzes the gap between renewable energy potential and actual capacity in West Nusa Tenggara, highlighting the need for Public-Private-People Partnerships (PPPP) and integrated spatial planning to overcome energy shortages.

• West Nusa Tenggara experiences severe energy shortages due to high costs and difficult geography limiting grid connections, despite significant renewable potential; for example, mini-hydro schemes could provide over 96.5 MW, while 2015 data shows total renewable capacity was only 14 MW.
• The Indonesian government has used feed-in tariff regulations since 2002 and increased demand from the state electricity company (PLN) to attract independent power producers (IPPs) to local power generation.
• Successful subnational renewable energy development requires a 'Public–Private–People Partnership' (PPPP) approach, continuous capacity building for provincial governments, and the integration of mini-hydro generation with forest conservation through spatial planning.
