Electricity and New Energy Museum, Energy education museum in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia.
The Electricity and New Energy Museum is located within Taman Mini Indonesia Indah and features more than 600 exhibition units covering electrical technology and renewable energy sources. The displays include interactive demonstrations and various power generation systems designed to help visitors understand how modern energy systems work.
The museum was built on an idea by Minister of Mining and Energy Ginandjar Kartasasmita, proposed during the 30th anniversary of OPEC held at the Oil and Gas Museum. The first stone was laid on 20 September 1993, and the museum was inaugurated on 20 April 1995.
The building's layout mirrors a hydrogen atom: one larger round main building representing a proton, surrounded by three smaller pavilions for New Energy, Fossil Energy and Conventional Energy, standing for three electrons. The complex was built on an idea by Minister of Mining and Energy Ginandjar Kartasasmita, raised during OPEC's 30th anniversary at the Oil and Gas Museum.
The space is well organized with sections suitable for different age groups and interests within the broader park setting. Most exhibits encourage active participation rather than passive observation, making it engaging for visitors who want hands-on learning.
The facility features an unusual multifunction solar cooker that simultaneously prepares food and receives over 150 television channels. This striking combination demonstrates how solar technology can be repurposed in unexpected and practical ways beyond traditional power generation.
