MAMUJU, South Sulawesi: The French government has donated two
solar power generators to two transmigration sites in Mamuju
district, South Sulawesi province.

The head of the provincial transmigration office, Daeng
Masinara, said here yesterday that at least 300 families from
each transmigration site stood to benefit from the contribution.

"Each of them can produce 100 watts of electricity. Several
French and Indonesian technicians have begun installing
electrical facilities in each house," he said, as quoted by
Antara.

France is Indonesia's second largest bilateral donor,
providing more than US$3 billion to finance 300 development
projects over 25 years.
