Abstract
The concept of economic development that is based on villages so far still causes debate. Supporting arguments say that village empowerment is the key to the success of inclusive economic development. The aim is to create sustainable economic development based on creating high economic value. Based on this, the main objective of this research is to examine how much impact the new and renewable energy program in Jombang has had on the empowerment of rural communities. Based on the Cluster Analysis method, the new and renewable energy program is proven to have implications for the empowerment of rural communities as indicated through two things, namely: (i) an increase in income especially the poor; and (ii) local communities are able to develop village development planning and implementation. This proves that the new and renewable energy program has been able to realize the independence of the village. Therefore, this program is expected to be a proliferation of empowerment models that are based on sustainable use of natural resources.

Summary
Salah satu isu sentral dalam pembangunan berkelanjutan adalah persoalan pengangguran dan kemiskinan, khususnya di daerah pedesaan (Zubaedi, 2007). Model pemberdayaan berbasis pemanfaatan sumberdaya alam yang berkelanjutan sangat penting dilakukan dalam rangka menciptakan kesejahteraan masyarakat yang berkelanjutan, khususnya di pedesaan. Berdasarkan penjelasan tersebut, maka tujuan dalam penelitian ini dibagi menjadi dua, yaitu: (i) untuk mengidentifikasi upaya yang sudah dilakukan di Kabupaten Jombang dalam melihat potensi energi terbarukan; dan (ii) menjabarkan konstruksi antara kondisi eksisting energi terbarukan di Kabupaten Jombang dengan model pemberdayaan masyarakat pedesaan. Terbarukan Orientasi pembangunan ekonomi saat ini bukan hanya tertuju pada efisiensi dan efektivitas pemanfaatan sumberdaya alam, namun juga terkait dengan aspek keberlanjutan (Garjita et al, 2014). Kedua adalah sumber energi terbarukan, yang pemanfatannya terbagi dalam dua katagori, yaitu: (i) sudah lama dimanfaatkan, seperti tenaga air, panas bumi, energi surya, Biomasa (berbagai bentuk, limbah dan sebagainya); dan (ii) baru dipakai/dikaji, seperti tenaga angin, gelombang dan arus laut. Diperlukan inovasi energi terbarukan sebagai bagian penting dalam menjamin kegiatan pembangunan ekonomi
