Over sixty-five million Indonesians live off the grid. But what does that mean in the era of micro-grids, batteries and efficient solar panels? And how do communities change with 24/7 energy?
Providing reliable electric power is one of the keys to unlocking the potential of the remote islands and landlocked areas of Indonesia and of Australia’s north, a priority for both countries.

To bring sustainable energy to remote communities.
To increase the reliability of Indonesia’s urban power.
To guide Indonesia as it boosts its electricity generating capacity by 70 per cent.
To help Australia decarbonise/move away from coal.

This is one of the best science communication courses I have ever encountered. It teaches all research to think out of box and really simplify their research in lay man's language. I will highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about science communication.
