        "summary": "A study by the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) indicates that Sumbawa Island in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) has a renewable energy potential of 8.64 gigawatts from solar power. This potential could supply 100% of the island's electricity needs with clean energy, aligning with President Prabowo Subianto's directive to develop 100 gigawatts of solar energy across 80,000 villages.",
        "content": "<p>Mataram (ANTARA) - A study by the non-profit think tank, the\nInstitute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), states that Sumbawa\nIsland in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) has a renewable energy potential of\n8.64 gigawatts derived from solar power.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of IESR, Fabby Tumiwa, said that\nthis potential is sufficient to support 100% of Sumbawa Island\u2019s\nelectricity needs with clean energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Prabowo Subianto has instructed the development of 100\ngigawatts of solar energy in approximately 80,000 villages. We see this\nas an opportunity for regions to contribute to achieving the national\ntarget,\u201d he said in a statement in Mataram, Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Fabby said that his organisation has published a study entitled\n\u201cIsland-Based 100% Renewable Energy and Flexibility in the Electricity\nSystem\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the study show that Sumbawa Island has a total\nrenewable energy potential of 10.21 gigawatts, with 8.64 gigawatts of\nit, or 84.53%, being solar power.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, this potential is an important asset for West Nusa\nTenggara in formulating an energy transition strategy and realising the\ntarget of net-zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Fabby believes that IESR\u2019s experience in developing the Bali Net-Zero\nEmissions 2045 roadmap can be a reference for West Nusa Tenggara in\ndesigning a similar policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can provide strategic input to prioritise renewable energy. In\nthis energy transition period, the net-zero emissions initiative also\nneeds strong support from the central government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Governor of West Nusa Tenggara, Lalu Muhamad Iqbal,\nwelcomed the support from the non-profit think tank in preparing the\n2050 Net-Zero Emissions roadmap.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that West Nusa Tenggara needs a measurable development\ndirection so that the energy transition process can run effectively\nwhile also providing economic benefits for the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNTB has great potential to meet the demand for renewable energy\nworkers, both domestically and in the international market,\u201d said\nIqbal.<\/p>",
