Abstract

A field survey on the energy condition in the customary region of La pago, Papua province has been carried out. The aim of this survey is to provide an insight into the actual condition of the energy availability and accessibility in the region to the governments and related stakeholders. The survey results show that, there are at least four renewable energy sources in the region that have potential to be utilized in the region. These are solar, hydro, wind, and biomass (i.e., biofuels and biogas). Installed capacity of hydropower plant in this region is about 149 kW which further from the available potential. These sources of energy have not been fully utilized, and hence lack of clean energy in the region is still a main problem that require attention from the government and stakeholders.
