The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that 84.91% of villages in Papua lacked street lighting in 2019. This percentage is the highest nationally. Following Papua are East Nusa Tenggara (79.57% of villages), West Papua (69.23% of villages), West Kalimantan (60.32%), and North Kalimantan (52.7% of villages).
Based on this, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) built 300 solar-powered public streetlights (PJU-TS) in Boven Digoel and Asmat Regencies in 2019. PJU-TS are streetlights that use sunlight as their power source.
By using solar power, PJU-TS is expected to provide a solution for street lighting in areas without electricity access. Furthermore, PJU-TS is expected to reduce electricity consumption in a region.
