Q & A

  • What is the main idea presented by Tri Mumpuni in the video?

    -Tri Mumpuni emphasizes the importance of developing rural areas through sustainable energy solutions, particularly utilizing local resources like water to create micro-hydro power plants, which not only provide electricity but also help improve the local economy and prevent migration to cities.

  • What is the role of micro-hydro power plants in rural development in Indonesia?

    -Micro-hydro power plants (PLTMH) help provide electricity to remote villages in Indonesia, especially those without access to the national grid. They also allow excess energy to be sold to the national grid, generating income for local communities while promoting clean energy use.

  • How has Tri Mumpuni's work been recognized internationally?

    -Tri Mumpuni’s work has received international recognition, including an appreciation from former U.S. President Barack Obama in 2010, for her efforts in providing sustainable energy solutions to remote areas of Indonesia through the development of micro-hydro power plants.

  • Why does Tri Mumpuni believe rural development is key to Indonesia's strength?

    -Tri Mumpuni believes that if villages are developed correctly, utilizing their natural resources and providing sustainable livelihoods, Indonesia as a whole will become stronger. She stresses the need for quality human resources to live in and build these villages, which can be a source of national strength.

  • What challenge do rural communities face despite the existence of natural resources?

    -Despite having abundant natural resources, rural communities in Indonesia face the challenge of lacking the human resources willing to stay and develop their villages. Additionally, the lack of proper education often leads children to leave the villages in search of better opportunities, which exacerbates rural decline.

  • How does the involvement of local communities in the micro-hydro projects benefit them?

    -In the micro-hydro projects developed by Tri Mumpuni, 50% of the shares are owned by the local community, which is managed through cooperatives. This allows villagers to benefit not only from access to electricity but also from business opportunities, loans, scholarships, and healthcare subsidies provided by the cooperative.

  • What other renewable energy sources does Tri Mumpuni hope to develop for rural areas?

    -In addition to micro-hydro power, Tri Mumpuni hopes to develop biogas as another renewable energy source in rural areas, which would further promote energy independence and improve local living conditions.

  • What is the significance of the 'Cinta Mekar' micro-hydro power plant?

    -The 'Cinta Mekar' micro-hydro power plant, located in Subang, West Java, is significant because it demonstrates how a local, community-based energy solution can provide electricity to rural areas. The plant was built by Tri Mumpuni’s foundation and has helped improve the lives of villagers by offering them both electricity and new economic opportunities.

  • How did the establishment of micro-hydro plants impact daily life in villages like those in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT)?

    -In villages like those in NTT, the establishment of micro-hydro plants drastically improved daily life by providing access to electricity, which previously was unavailable. This reduced the need for labor-intensive tasks like manually fetching water and allowed for better access to modern amenities.

  • Why is Tri Mumpuni concerned about the ongoing challenges in rural development despite her efforts?

    -Tri Mumpuni remains concerned because, despite the progress made in providing electricity and other basic services, many rural areas still face significant challenges such as inadequate education and continued migration to urban centers. She feels more needs to be done to address these persistent issues and empower local communities to become self-sufficient.
