Living remotely with limited access to electrification has compelled villagers to establish renewable energy projects based on available resources. However, few studies have investigated actors’ roles atthe science-policy interface of such community-based renewable energy projects. This article describes the successful implementation of renewable energy projects in an indigenous village, Kasepuhan Ciptagelar, in Mount Halimun Salak National Park, Indonesia. Expert interviews and document analysis using the theoretical framework of the research-integration-utilization model revealed the role of various actors in the development of renewable energy projects in this indigenous village. Combining scientific research with indigenous information increased the villagers’ acceptance of and willingness towards sustainably managing micro-hydro projects. Furthermore, grassroots community leaders successfully introduced the use of micro-hydro projects. Based on these results, we suggest employing a collaborative approach involving actors at different levels of energy and forest governance (local, regional, national, and international) as a promising tool to tackle energy and environmental injustice. |  |\n\n1. Introduction  \nIndonesia has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 29% by 2030 and increase renewable energy utilization by 25% by 2025 [1,2]. The Indonesian government has introduced several renewable energy policies to realize energy transitions in their national energy plan, such as feed-in-tariff mechanisms, financial incentives, and smallscale renewable energy. However, the CO2 emission levels from electricity usage continue to increase, and progress toward renewable energy transition remains low. Regulatory and political uncertainties are the main challenges for investors, thus hindering renewable energy development [3]. Despite a 99% electricity rate, there is still an implementation gap, with 1.1% of villages that do not have access to electricity. Considering the landscape of Indonesia as an archipelago, community-based renewable energy has been recognized as an effective way to address energy injustice in remote areas [4–6].  \nLiving remotely near the boundaries of or even within protected forests often limits villagers’ access to energy sources, especially electricity. Community-based energy is a potential pathway that can connect indigenous people to energy resources, ensuring just and locally  \ndistributed energy [7]. Nevertheless, considering the rapid growth of community-based renewable energy projects in the global south [6,8,9], there are threats such as sociopolitical dynamics, premature failure, and scrutinized impact on local communities [6]. Hence, this study aims to investigate the role of various actors and scientific support at the science-policy interface in overcoming energy injustice in the case of an indigenous village.
