Bernyala Energy

As the energy transition becomes a strategic priority, success is defined not only by technology adoption, but by the ability to execute programs consistently, sustain performance over time, and deliver measurable benefits at the local level. Tigamark Group is developing Bernyala Energy in Indonesia as a community energy network designed to accelerate energy transition initiatives by enabling local ownership, coordinated implementation, and long-term operational continuity.

Bernyala Energy is structured as a staged platform. It begins with practical, fast-to-deploy interventions, establishes credibility through transparent governance and measurable outcomes, and scales into repeatable community energy systems aligned with Indonesia’s geographic diversity, infrastructure variability, and on-the-ground financing realities.

Why Community Energy Matters

Many energy transition programs face a common challenge, strong intent at the policy and program level, but slower execution at the community level. This gap is typically driven by fragmented stakeholders, limited technical capacity, unclear financing pathways, and insufficient operations and maintenance structures.

Bernyala Energy addresses this gap by applying a community energy model, positioning communities and local institutions not merely as beneficiaries, but as structured participants with clear roles, incentives, and responsibilities. The objective is to convert energy transition goals into implementable projects that remain operational and impactful beyond the launch phase.

From Early Wins to Community Energy Systems

Bernyala Energy is designed to expand in stages:

Stage 1: Rapid, Measurable Interventions
Initial programs prioritize solutions with clear ROI, limited complexity, and fast deployment, such as:

1. Energy efficiency upgrades (LED, cooling optimization, operational controls)

2. Rooftop solar for community facilities (schools, clinics, cooperatives)

3. Productive-use energy solutions for SMEs (cold storage, pumps, small processing)

Stage 2: Program Standardization and Replication
Once validated, interventions are packaged into repeatable program modules supported by standardized SOPs, procurement pathways, partner templates, and performance reporting.

Stage 3: Integrated Community Energy Systems
Over time, Bernyala Energy can evolve toward integrated models, where feasible such as village scale systems, shared ownership schemes, and community led operations structures that improve reliability and reduce long term cost volatility.

How Bernyala Energy Operates

Bernyala Energy functions as an enabling network that aligns four stakeholder groups into a coherent delivery system:

1) Communities and Local Institutions
Village organizations, cooperatives, schools, clinics, SME clusters, and local leadership structures that anchor adoption and daily operations.

2) Technical Implementation Partners
EPC firms, solar installers, energy auditors, equipment vendors, battery providers, and monitoring solution providers responsible for compliant delivery and system performance.

3) Financing and Funding Stakeholders
CSR programs, local banks, microfinance, impact investors, philanthropic funds, and blended finance structures that enable scalable deployment without overburdening end users.

4) Government and Policy Interfaces
Relevant local government entities and program offices that support alignment, access, and in some cases permits, coordination, and program integration.

The role of Bernyala Energy is to provide the operational layer that reduces fragmentation through project packaging, partner matching, standardized delivery playbooks, and performance governance.

Core Services

Bernyala Energy’s initial service architecture includes:

1. Community readiness and needs assessment (fast, decision-oriented)

2. Project packaging (scope, roles, budget, implementation plan)

3. Partner matching (technical + finance)

4. Implementation playbooks (SOPs, governance, procurement templates)

5. Measurement and reporting (savings, uptime, adoption, impact)

6. Capacity building (basic O&M routines and local operator enablement)

Why This Matters Now

Indonesia’s energy transition targets are rising, while community level execution capacity remains uneven. A community energy network offers a practical bridge between national ambition and local implementation supporting resilience, affordability, and measurable progress through repeatable delivery models.
