Energy planning for development II

The DJK will implement the project by creating a model and energy data bank to improve energy policy- and decisionmaking and by conducting energy policy studies. The DJK will adapt the Reference Energy System (RES) developed under the previous project to establish a regionalized data base of current and previously gathered energy supply and demand data. This will include the establishment of a macro energy/economic model to enable the RES to be used in: conducting energy analyses on a regional level (as opposed to aggregate national analysis); more completely analyzing household energy consumption data gathered in the previous project"s pilot rural energy survey; conducting detailed studies of energy use by rural industries identified in the previous project as large consumers of firewood; and analyzing the feasibility of using alternative energy sources to meet specific rural needs. For this component, the DJK will receive 36 person-months of short-term technical assistance and a 32 bit minicomputer with over 500 Kbytes of error correcting memory and a disk subsystem which includes a 96 megabyte cartridge module disk. A total of 15 DJK officials will be trained in energy modeling and analytical techniques. In addition, outside consultants will help the DJK conduct two energy policy studies - a pilot urban household energy use study and a national survey on the productive demand for and uses of rural electrification. The urban survey will involve eight universities and eight cities in Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Lombok and will canvass 1,500 urban residents to establish a minimal data base on energy consumption for each of three broad urban income groups. The survey will also enhance local capabilities for designing and supervising household energy surveys and will test a methodology for use in the national survey. The national survey, which will be conducted in collaboration with the State Power Company (PLN), will cover 23 repesentative sites throughout Indonesia.
