BENGKULU, Bengkulu: As many as 620 units of domestic solar
system (SHS) equipment will be installed in dozens of remote
villages across Bengkulu province this year to provide them with
an electricity supply, an official said on Saturday.

Deputy head of the Bengkulu energy and mineral resources
office Zulkifli Abdullah said the equipment was given as
assistance from the Technology Assessment and Application Agency
(BPPT) and the central government.

Among the villages to receive the SHS would be those on
Enggano island, North Bengkulu regency, where the already
installed equipment was damaged in an earthquake on June 4, 2000,
he added. --Antara
