        "summary": "A new documentary film, Pelita Asa, explores the challenges and progress of energy transition in Indonesia's remote 3T (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost) areas of East Kalimantan, focusing on the shift from coal to renewable sources like communal solar power plants (PLTS). It features communities in Dusun Donomulyo, Kelurahan Manggar, and Desa Muara Enggelam, where limited access to electricity and environmental damage from mining have spurred local initiatives for energy independence through village-owned enterprises (BumDes). The film underscores how these solar installations not only expand electricity access but also boost local economies by enabling small businesses and household appliances during daylight hours, aligning with Indonesia's net zero emissions goal by 2060.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia aims to achieve net zero emissions (NZE) by 2060 as part of\nefforts to curb carbon emissions and expand the use of clean energy.\nAmid the national energy transition ambitions, several energy-producing\nregions still face limitations in electricity access.<\/p>\n<p>This reality is highlighted in the documentary film Pelita Asa, which\nspotlights the journey of communities in 3T (disadvantaged, frontier,\nand outermost) regions as they navigate the energy transition from coal\nto renewables. The film illustrates how village communities are building\nenergy independence through the utilisation of communal Solar Power\nPlants (PLTS).<\/p>\n<p>Viewers are taken through the lives of people in Dusun Donomulyo,\nKelurahan Manggar, and Desa Muara Enggelam in East Kalimantan. These\nthree 3T villages were selected because they represent major challenges\nin the energy transition, from environmental damage due to coal mining\nactivities, limited access to electricity and gas, to the threat of job\nlosses for local communities.<\/p>\n<p>Desa Muara Enggelam serves as one example of a region with limited\nenergy access. The village has no land route, making the construction of\nconventional electricity networks difficult. Until now, residents have\nrelied only on Diesel Power Plants (PLTD) that operate limitedly from\nevening to night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the entire Muara Wis sub-district, only Desa Muara Enggelam lacks\na land access route. Due to this limitation, we are forced to be\nself-reliant,\u201d said Aliansyah, Staff for Village Finance Affairs in Desa\nMuara Enggelam, in a clip from the Pelita Asa film.<\/p>\n<p>This situation prompted the village community to seek independent\nsolutions by building a communal PLTS managed by a Village-Owned\nEnterprise (BumDes). Aliansyah stated that the village community worked\ntogether to build the PLTS because it was the only option available and\nsuited to Desa Muara Enggelam\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the communal PLTS not only helps expand electricity\naccess but also begins to drive village economic activities. Now,\nresidents can use electronic appliances during the day and run small\nbusinesses more optimally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my personal opinion, it\u2019s enjoyable and happy. We can use the\ntelevision, fan, blender, and washing machine during the day. For the\nwomen, after the PLTS was introduced, small and medium enterprises\n(SMEs) like shops have also increased because they can now use\nelectricity, and from the BumDes side, many employees are recruited from\nthe local community,\u201d explained Jam Ah, a representative of the BumDes\nin Desa Muara Enggelam.<\/p>",
