Abstract
Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) is one of the provinces in Indonesia which does not have fossil energy potential. Almost all of the energy needs in DIY such as fuel oil (BBM) is supplied from outside the area with increasing use every year. Therefore, this research aims to find out and analyze the driving factors of empowerment and development of rural communities through the development of electrical energy derived from Hybrid Power Plants in Pantai Baru, DIY, Indonesia. Data are analyzed by employing Structural Equation Modeling based Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that the driving factors of empowerment and development of rural communities are influenced by individual characteristics, environment, and group support.
Highlights
Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) is one of the provinces in Indonesia that does not have fossil energy potential
The structural equation modeling based partial least square (SEM-PLS) model built in this study consisted of 5 variables, namely individual, environmental, empowerment, village community development, and 1 exogenous variable, group support
Group Support Based on the results of the analysis, group support is a factor that directly affects the level of empowerment of HEPP electricity beneficiaries in Pantai Baru
Summary
Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) is one of the provinces in Indonesia that does not have fossil energy potential. Electricity is supplied from the Java-Madura-Bali (JAMALI) interconnection network because there are no power plants that meet the electricity demand of the DIY community. This means that all community activities in the DIY region are highly dependent on the stability of energy supply from other regions. The energy that has been used as much as hen large is not used to support the growth of the economy. This can be seen from the biggest energy use in the household and transportation sectors, which accounted for 28.5% and 59.45% of the total energy used in 2013, the rest is the energy used in the commercial and industrial sectors
