Background
Hivos
started the Sumba Iconic Island initiative in 2010 with aims to provide access
to reliable renewable forms of energy to the population of this island, and in
doing so, ending their dependency on fossil fuels and support development and
economic activities of the local population. With years of experience working
with partner organizations to establish access to sustainable energy in
developing countries, Hivos is convinced that converting to sustainable energy,
and combining this with poverty reduction, is possible on a large scale. The
results of the Iconic Island initiative should become an example for other
parts of the world. Currently SII is being adopted as a government project
under Ministerial Decree NO. 3051 K/30/MEM/2015. It promotes a
multi-stakeholder approach where government, private sector and CSOs are
working collaboratively under that Decree.
On 24
February 2017 Hivos was awarded EUR 1.4
million by the Dutch’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs which allows Hivos to
rapidly scale up renewable energy access and income benefits by replicating the
successful approaches and business models developed under the Sumba Iconic
Island (SII). The ‘Solar Services for Sumba Iconic Island’ proposal outlines a
20-month project to develop commercially oriented solar PV services for
off-grid users in Sumba Island in Indonesia, with the objective of creating a
sustained and commercially oriented renewable energy solutions at affordable
prices for Sumbanese inhabitants. The project, which leverages match funding
from the Millennium Challenge Account–Indonesia, plays a major role in the
strategy for off-grid energy development under the SII program and will also
contribute significantly to a gender-inclusive application and to women’s
opportunities in renewable energy entrepreneurship.
