Penggunaan Energi Surya, Kompor Kayu Bakar, dan Inisiatif Mikro-Hidro untuk Mendukung Kemandihan Energi Non-Fosil di Yayasan Perintis Pendidik Nusa

Abstract

The Perintis Pendidik Nusa Foundation, located in a suburban area, faces significant challenges in ensuring a reliable and affordable energy supply to support its educational and social activities. Limited access to electricity and high dependence on fossil fuels have increased operational costs and created vulnerabilities in daily operations. This community service project aims to introduce and implement environmentally friendly renewable alternative energy solutions to enhance energy sustainability within the foundation. The program focuses on three key initiatives: (1) installing solar-powered street lighting to improve safety and nighttime accessibility; (2) developing an efficient wood-fired stove to support domestic needs and provide practical demonstrations of low-cost energy alternatives; and (3) initiating a micro-hydro power system based on the local water flow potential. These interventions are designed not only to reduce energy costs but also to promote community awareness of sustainable energy practices. The outcomes of the program include the installation of seven solar street-light units, the construction of one wood-fired stove house, and the development of one micro-hydro prototype, which has reached approximately 75% completion. Overall, the project demonstrates a practical model for adopting renewable energy technologies in suburban educational settings and provides a foundation for future replication and development.
