BHA requires hotels to take advantage of alternative energy Bali Post
DENPASAR - Bali Hotel Association (BHA) requires the hotel industry to utilize alternative energy such as wind energy or solar energy to reduce the energy consumption. The industrial sector is recorded to use the largest energy with the growth of 39.6 percent in 1990 to 51.86 percent in 2009. The figure is more than half of the total national energy consumption. BHA Executive Director, Djinaldi Gosana, said that most com-
ponents of Bali tourism continued to actively reduce the energy usage in their respective working environment, through energy conservation program. “We require the hoteliers particularly the BHA members to utilize alternative energy. Of the 103 hotels belonging to BHA, 30 percent have done the efficiency,” said Djinaldi in Denpasar. According to him, Bali as the leading tourist destination in Indonesia was in great need of energy supply to operate. “So far, large hotels
have always been made a scapegoat wasting the largest amount of energy. Therefore, we will drive out the hotel owners who do not want to make savings,” he threatened. Meanwhile, Co-Team Leader of Energy Efficiency in Industrial, Commercial and Public Sector (EINCOPS), Melany Tedja, said that Indonesia received a grant worth USD 10 million from the government of Denmark to explore the potential of energy efficiency in various industries and communities. “The Danish government pro-
vided the assistance without expecting anything in return because the most important thing for them is that Indonesia can do various efforts for improving the energy efficiency in several sectors,” she said. She said that Danish government strongly supported the program of Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources having ambition to curb the energy consumption in 2025 amounting to 33.85 percent pursuant to the Business-as-Usual scenario.
