Indonesia is ramping up efforts to replace diesel-fired generators with small hydropower facilities. On Oct. 30, two new power plants in East Nusa Tenggara and West Papua were inaugurated, while another broke ground on the same day. The projects are expected to help local communities move away from high-carbon power generation and cut household energy expenses.
