East Sumba Regency, located in the East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, is known for its abundant natural resources, particularly in New and Renewable Energy (NRE) sources such as biomass, wind, and solar energy. The people of East Sumba have long utilized NRE, as reflected in traditional concepts and practices, including the local wisdom of Marapu. This potential has encouraged the central and regional governments to develop NRE projects, aiming to improve the economy and public welfare while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. However, the achievement of 100% renewable energy availability by 2024, as targeted by the Asta Cita Pemerintah concept through the national Sumba Iconic Island (SSI) programme, is still far from being realized. This study aims to identify, analyze, and implement strategies for poverty alleviation through renewable energy management, ensuring that local wisdom-based regulations can be effectively implemented.

The most effective strategy for alleviating poverty through the management of local wisdom-based renewable energy (NRE) in East Sumba Regency is the S-A strategy.This strategy involves developing and optimizing small-scale NRE infrastructure independently, achieving energy independence in villages.It also emphasizes the importance of creating a comprehensive roadmap and NRE blueprint for East Sumba, positioning it as a national learning center that integrates cultural and environmental considerations.To ensure the sustainability of large-scale NRE investments, continuous research and feasibility studies on solar and wind energy potential are recommended, involving both national and local researchers.The study faced challenges, including difficult access to infrastructure, limited primary data, and reluctance from some informants to share detailed information.

To address the challenges and further enhance the effectiveness of poverty alleviation through renewable energy in East Sumba, the following saran are proposed: . . 1. Strengthening community participation and engagement: It is crucial to actively involve the local community in NRE projects. This can be achieved through deliberations and consultations, ensuring that the projects align with local values, priorities, and cultural practices. By fostering a sense of ownership and involvement, the community can contribute to the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of NRE initiatives.. . 2. Enhancing human resources and technical capacity: The operation and maintenance of NRE technology require skilled human resources. Therefore, it is essential to invest in training and certification programs to enhance the technical capacity of local communities. This can be done through partnerships with universities, vocational institutions, and NRE supplier manufacturers, providing opportunities for local graduates to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to operate and maintain NRE infrastructure independently.. . 3. Simplifying regulations and promoting local manufacturing: To facilitate the development and implementation of NRE projects, it is necessary to simplify NRE regulations, including asset ownership status and regional regulations that recognize and protect the rights of indigenous peoples to forest and water ownership. Additionally, encouraging local manufacturing of NRE components can help reduce the reliance on imported goods, close the technology gap, and promote economic development within the region.
