11 Indonesian Students Study Clean Energy at the Bengkok Bandung Hydroelectric Power Plant

“For water taken from the Cikapundung River, we clean up the rubbish before the water is used for generating electricity. "The waste that is picked up is then distributed to local waste collection sites," he said. Hamza explained.

According to him, environmental management around the power plant is also carried out through regular tree planting activities.

These efforts are needed to protect the area around the river basin which is the main source of power plant operations.

Encourage Students to Become Agents of Change

Hamzah believes that direct learning at energy facilities can help students identify the field they want to pursue after completing high school.

“This program can broaden the participants' insight and provide additional experience for them in determining the direction of education to a higher level,” he said.

Through KELANA Episode 4, KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) hopes that participants will not only understand the relationship between water, the environment and energy. They are also expected to be able to spread awareness about water conservation and the use of clean energy in their respective environments.

This program also introduces the younger generation that sustainable electricity supply cannot be separated from efforts to protect rivers and the surrounding ecosystem. (ed)
