JAKARTA, Saco-Indonesia.com - Keberhasilan uji coba pembangkit listrik tenaga bayu atau angin di Yogyakarta mendorong pembangunan pembangkit listrik skala komersial. Pembangkit itu akan dibangun di Pandansimo, Yogyakarta. Untuk itu, kini dilakukan pembebasan tanah.

Hal ini disampaikan Manajer Proyek Wind Hybrid Power Generation (WhyPGen) Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi (BPPT) Soeripno Martosapoetro, Rabu (8/5/2013), di Jakarta. Proyek yang bertujuan mendorong pemanfaatan energi angin untuk kelistrikan dilaksanakan Balai Besar Teknologi Energi (B2TE) BPPT bekerja sama dengan Program Pembangunan PBB (UNDP) hingga 2015.

Menurut Soeripno, yang juga Ketua Masyarakat Energi Angin Indonesia, di daerah pantai sepanjang 8 km dari Samas hingga Pandansimo akan berdiri 34 unit menara setinggi 100 meter. Total daya yang dibangkitkan mencapai 50 kilowatt. Daya listrik itu nantinya masuk dalam jaringan PLN.

Menurut dia, pembangunan pembangkit listrik tenaga bayu (PLTB) oleh UPC Renewable Indonesia yang berpusat di Kanada akan mengandalkan teknologi antara lain dari China dan Amerika Serikat.

Dua tahun terakhir, pertumbuhan industri turbin angin dunia mencapai 200 persen. Peningkatan ini untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pembangunan PLTB yang tahun lalu mencapai 240 gigawatt. Dari jumlah itu, 60 GW dibangkitkan di China. PLTB juga banyak di AS, Spanyol, dan Jerman. Indonesia di urutan ke-119, memiliki 2 megawatt. Dengan adanya PLTB berkapasitas 50 MW, urutan Indonesia akan naik ke posisi 60-70.

”Pemanfaatan energi terbarukani akan terus dikembangkan di Indonesia untuk menekan polusi udara,” kata Kepala Bidang Konversi Energi BPPT Edi Hilmawan. Penerapan PLTB juga diharapkan membuka lapangan kerja, termasuk pembuatan dan pengembangan teknologinya.

Dengan demikian, PLTB menjadi solusi kompetitif dibandingkan pembangkit listrik konvensional, terutama di daerah yang memiliki sumber daya energi lokal melimpah.

KATHMANDU, Nepal — When the dense pillar of smoke from cremations by the Bagmati River was thinning late last week, the bodies were all coming from Gongabu, a common stopover for Nepali migrant workers headed overseas, and they were all of young men.

Hindu custom dictates that funeral pyres should be lighted by the oldest son of the deceased, but these men were too young to have sons, so they were burned by their brothers or fathers. Sukla Lal, a maize farmer, made a 14-hour journey by bus to retrieve the body of his 19-year-old son, who had been on his way to the Persian Gulf to work as a laborer.

“He wanted to live in the countryside, but he was compelled to leave by poverty,” Mr. Lal said, gazing ahead steadily as his son’s remains smoldered. “He told me, ‘You can live on your land, and I will come up with money, and we will have a happy family.’ ”

Weeks will pass before the authorities can give a complete accounting of who died in the April 25 earthquake, but it is already clear that Nepal cannot afford the losses. The countryside was largely stripped of its healthy young men even before the quake, as they migrated in great waves — 1,500 a day by some estimates — to work as laborers in India, Malaysia or one of the gulf nations, leaving many small communities populated only by elderly parents, women and children. Economists say that at some times of the year, one-quarter of Nepal’s population is working outside the country.
