Unpad builds 2 solar plants in Tomage, Fakfak; 18 UMKM get halal certification
If extended, the Transmigration Ministry is considering 1-2 years of support through Beasiswa Patriot for follow-on assistance.
Tim Ekspedisi Patriot Universitas Padjadjaran has built two solar power plants in the Tomage Transmigration Area, Fakfak Regency, Papua Barat, to help meet electricity needs for shared community facilities. Assistance in Tomage and Bomberay also produced 18 halal certificates for local UMKM processed products, along with training in food processing and digital marketing. TEP 13 Unpad chairman Adwar Bajari said the team also developed a groundwater filtration system, although the drinking-water suitability still awaits laboratory tests. Transmigration Minister M. Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara said this year's program has shifted from research and mapping potential to hands-on work and community service. The Fakfak Regency government has proposed extending the assistance beyond four months.
