Industrial Electrical Engineering Program of UNDIP Collaborates with Pertamina

The Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, Vocational School of Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), conducted an official visit to Tuban to sign a cooperation agreement with PT Pertamina (Persero). This initiative aims to support the development of energy efficiency and the planning of renewable energy (EBT) implementation in the Pantai Panduri area.

During the visit, the UNDIP delegation, consisting of faculty members and leaders of the Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, was warmly welcomed by Pertamina Tuban’s management team. Both parties discussed potential collaboration in developing environmentally friendly electrical technologies and optimizing renewable energy resources in coastal areas.

Panduri beach was chosen as the pilot project location due to its significant potential for renewable energy development, including solar and wind power. Through the agreement, the Industrial Electrical Engineering Program of UNDIP Vocational School and Pertamina committed to jointly conducting research, developing technologies, and providing training for local workers to support the program’s sustainability.

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.
