Title : Consultant
for the Establishment of BUMD & BUMDesa under the framework of Sumba Iconic
Island Program
Duty Station : Sumba, NTT
Duration : July to September 2018
1.
Background
Sumba Island has been chosen as the Iconic Island of 100% Renewable
Energy based on a study conducted by Hivos together with Winrock (in 2010) with
the consideration of the island’s low access to energy where electrification
ratio on Sumba Island was only 24,55%, while the island is rich in renewable
energy potential (water, bioenergy, wind and solar). In November 2012, the
Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Norwegian Embassy in 2013 have also
assumed a role in supporting the implementation of Sumba Iconic Island program.
In 2015, the program also gained support from the Millennium Challenge Account
– Indonesia (MCA-I) through the Green Prosperity program.
The implementation of SII program has a multi-actor approach, which
encourages stakeholders in the renewable energy sector contribute to the
development of renewable energy on Sumba Island. To support this program,
various activities have been implemented, including the development of official
documents of SII program-Blueprint, Roadmap, and RUPES (General Plan of Sumba
Island Energy Supply)-the establishment of a task force at national and
regional level, regular stakeholders meetings, i.e.: Coordination Meeting and
National Plenary Meeting conducted two (2) times in each fiscal year, and
Steering Committee Meeting for at least once every fiscal year.
There are so many off-grid installations that have been built on Sumba
Island which funded by the state budget (APBN/APBD/DAK) or grant in most cases.
However, not all installations are able to last long due to several factors
like operational and maintenance issues, low level of local human resources’
capacity, lack of after-sales service in remote islands, or lack of business
models for the off-grid system. Thus, it is deemed necessary to identify a
suitable institutional model as an entity who has the responsibility not only
on the operational and maintenance aspect of the installation but also for the
sustainability of the infrastructure..
As recommended through several discussions with SII stakeholders, a
District-owned enterprise (Badan Usaha Milik Daerah/BUMD) or a Village-owned
enterprise (Badan Usaha Milik Desa/BUMDesa) could be an option as an
institutional model for the management of renewable energy infrastructure to
ensure the sustainability of decentralized/off-grid system in rural/remote
communities on Sumba Island
2. Objective
The main objectives of this independent
evaluation are:
a.
Prepare for the establishment of:
1.
District-owned enterprise (Badan Usaha
Milik Daerah/BUMD) as an institutional model for the management of renewable
energy infrastructure on Sumba Island (on-grid and off-grid);
2.
Village-owned enterprise (Badan Usaha
Milik Desa/BUMDesa) as institutional management model for the off-grid
renewable energy installations in the community level.
b.
Prepare the enabling environment needed
to support the establishment of BUMD and BUMDesa (policy support, capacity
building, financial support, community engagement, business models, etc.)
