Building the Resilience of Renewable Energy Human Capital Towards Sustainable Development: A Case of Tunda Island, The Enchanting Island

Abstract

Tunda Island, is a small island located in the Java Sea, included in the Serang Regency, Banten. In order to fullfill the electrical energy needs of the people of Tunda Island, they use hybrid electrical energy sources, Solar Power Generation off grid 25 kWp and diesel oil generators. Tunda Island has the potential to become a leading island based on green energy, eco tourism, a low-carbon island and a center for marine products and other SMEs based on the other local natural resources. The problem that the community faces is the shortage of electrical energy due to a decrease in the capacity of Solar Power Generation off-grid and this time that people use more fossil energy sources to generate the electricity. This condition is certainly very unfortunate, so a solution is needed to sove he problem. How Solar Power Generation off grid can operate optimally as a source of green energy and become a driving force for eco tourism and efforts to increase community productivity through marine-based food production and other eco-tourism. Based on the the investigation and observation observation, we found that problems related to Solar Power Generation off grid, e.g. there are only two operators to serve the community with competencies that really need to be improved, the number of operators that need to be increased, as well as how to operate and maintain the off grid Solar Power Generation professionally and efficiently. through organizations such as BuMDes so it can be integrated with other economic activities. Building human capital of Solar Power Generation or other renewable energy sources for operation and maintenance is the key so that renewable power generation can operate sustainably. Furthermore it will make Tunda Island as an enchanting, low-carbon and prosperous island for Tunda Island’s community.
