Registration is open\nfree of charge from 10 August to 16 September 2026 via the PLN Mobile\napplication.<\/p>\n
PLN SustainAction 2026 is an innovation competition for communities,\nacademics, startups, business actors and the public to encourage the\nemergence of sustainable ideas and solutions. The competition not only\nfocuses on climate change and environmental conservation issues, but\nalso encourages the creation of positive impacts for society and the\neconomy through relevant, applicable and collaborative solutions.<\/p>\n
Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications and TJSL at PLN,\nGregorius Adi Trianto, said that PLN SustainAction is a manifestation of\nPLN\u2019s support for various positive initiatives developing in society,\nincluding those still facing limitations in access, financing or\ncapacity to develop their programmes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough PLN SustainAction 2026, PLN wants to open space for\ncommunities from various regions to take their positive ideas further.\nSelected innovations and best practices will receive support to be\nrealised in the field, so that their benefits can be felt directly by\nthe community,\u201d said Gregorius.<\/p>\n
In this year\u2019s event, PLN SustainAction 2026 presents five\ncategories: Climate Innovation for innovations in climate change\nmitigation and adaptation; Sustainable Village for strengthening village\nor regional resilience through environmental, social and economic\napproaches; Ecopreneur for environmentally friendly business models\nbased on the circular economy; Renewable Energy 3T for expanding access\nto clean energy in underdeveloped, frontier and outermost regions; and\nEducation for Impact for encouraging the development of sustainable\neducation.<\/p>\n
Gregorius explained that registered innovations must be original\nworks that have at least passed the trial or beta test stage and still\nrequire support for further development. Innovations are also expected\nto have clear benefits, long-term development plans, and contribute to\nthe achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n
All submitted innovations will go through a series of selection\nprocesses, from administrative selection, preliminary rounds,\nsemi-finals, finals to feasibility checking. Direct field reviews are\nalso conducted for innovations that pass to the final stage to assess\ntheir readiness and development potential.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo maintain the independence of the assessment, PLN involves experts\nand practitioners in the fields of sustainability, community\nempowerment, education and the environment,\u201d Gregorius stressed.<\/p>\n
As a form of appreciation and implementation support, winners from\neach category will receive mentoring to realise their innovations in the\nfield. The programme also pays attention to local groups, indigenous\ncommunities and vulnerable groups as beneficiaries, so that the\ninnovations developed can encourage more inclusive and equitable\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n
Gregorius invited people across Indonesia to take advantage of this\nopportunity by registering various innovations that have been developed.\nEach team may also submit more than one innovation through the official\nregistration channel.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not hesitate to register the innovations that have been\ndeveloped. We want PLN SustainAction 2026 to be a space for communities\nfrom various regions to take their ideas further and provide a wider\nimpact,\u201d concluded Gregorius.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pln-sustainaction-2026-returns-opens-opportunities-for-sustainable-innovation-1787399558", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
