✤ 2 - 3 kWh/day average electricity consumption
✤ Average income per capita Rp. 1.8 mil ($170) per capita, >1/4
of average national income (2008)
3. ✤ Electricity demand would be tripled
in 20 years
✤ 85% of power supplied by diesel
generator (2010)
✤ Vast renewable energy potential:
hydro, solar, wind, and vast land for
biomass or energy crops plantation
