Rural Electrification Project
For
the first time, PETRONITA Welfare Committee collaborated with UTP and
Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA), Daerah Batang Padang dan Muallim,
Tapah, Perak to implement a rural electrification project at Kampung
Batu 20, Tapah. This electrification project is intended to improve the
quality of the livelihood of the Orang Asli community by providing them
access to renewable and clean energy via solar power using the
Photovoltaic Electricity Generating System (PVEGS) for the village. In
addition to providing electricity, it also allows capability building
and self-empowerment through the training on the use of solar
electricity system and the scheduled maintenance of the system. This
project commenced in November 2015 and took about six months of
dedication and hard work to be successfully completed. More than ninety
Orang Asli villagers of Kampung Batu 20 will benefit from this project.
