As a concrete step in supporting renewable energy development programs, the installation of Off-Grid Solar Power Plants (PLTS) for water pumps and solar-powered street lighting (PJU) has been carried out in Botoreco Village, Blora Regency.
The installation proceeded smoothly and was attended by the Village Head of Botoreco and local hamlet leaders. Their presence reflects the village government’s commitment to utilizing renewable energy resources to meet the community’s needs.
The Off-Grid PLTS for water pumps is expected to enhance the efficiency of clean water distribution to areas within the village that previously had limited access. Meanwhile, the installation of solar-powered street lighting aims to improve safety and comfort for village residents at night, especially in areas that previously lacked adequate lighting.
By utilizing solar panel technology, this program not only supports environmental sustainability but also contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuel energy sources. The village government, along with the project implementers, is committed to maintaining and ensuring the sustainability of these facilities so they can operate optimally in the long term.
This program serves as an initial step towards broader implementation of renewable energy technologies in rural areas, providing tangible benefits for the local community.

Blora, 2024 – In an effort to support the utilization of renewable energy and improve access to clean water for the community, a service team from the Vocational School of Diponegoro University (UNDIP) has planned the installation of a 3 kW on-grid solar panel system for a water pump in Botoreco Village, Blora Regency.
This initiative has received full support from the Dean of the Vocational School at UNDIP and involves several lecturers, managers, and educational staff (tendik) from the Vocational School who are participating in its implementation. The solar panels will be used to supply electricity to the water pump, which is essential for the villagers to meet their clean water needs.
The initial step taken by the service team was a site survey to determine the optimal location for installing the solar panels and to assess environmental conditions that could affect system performance. This survey is a critical part of the planning process to ensure the system operates efficiently and effectively.
In addition to benefiting the community by meeting their clean water needs, this project is also expected to serve as a model for the implementation of environmentally friendly renewable energy and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable energy use.
Moving forward, the community service team from the UNDIP Vocational School will continue with the technical planning, equipment procurement, and system installation phases to ensure the success of this project. This activity is also expected to strengthen the synergy between higher education institutions and the community in developing technologies that benefit daily life.

On Thursday, August 1, 2024, students from Team II of the Community Service Program (KKN) of Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Vocational School, Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, conducted a safety education session on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) focusing on electrical hazards for 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students at Pakumbulan Elementary School, Buaran District, Pekalongan Regency. The program aimed to raise children’s awareness of the risks associated with electricity in their environment, especially in play areas near electrical installations in Pakumbulan Village.
The session included presentations, educational videos, and the distribution of OHS posters on electrical hazards. Additionally, the students held practical demonstrations of series and parallel electrical circuits, giving the elementary students hands-on experience with basic electrical concepts. The program was well-received, with students actively participating in the activities and enthusiastically engaging in the simulations.
Mr. Yudha Nugroho, a teacher at Pakumbulan Elementary School, expressed his appreciation for the initiative. “The KKN program at SDN Pakumbulan has provided valuable knowledge to the students,” he said.
The positive responses from both students and teachers highlight the importance of such initiatives in reducing the risk of electrical accidents. The UNDIP Community Service students hope that through this program, the elementary students of Pakumbulan will have a better understanding of workplace safety and become more conscious of their surroundings, especially regarding electrical hazards.
