<![CDATA[Public Street Lighting (PJU) based on Solar Power Plants (PLTS) is one of the renewable energy solutions that is starting to be widely applied in Indonesia, especially in areas that have not been reached by conventional electricity networks. This study aims to examine the environmental and social impact of the implementation of PJU PLTS in two regions with different characteristics. The method used is qualitative descriptive with the support of quantitative data, through interviews, observations, and questionnaire dissemination. The results of the study show that PJU PLTS is able to reduce carbon emissions, improve the visual quality of the night environment, and create a safe and productive space for the community. Social impacts include increasing a sense of security, growing night-time economic activities, and strengthening the social cohesion of citizens. However, challenges such as lack of technical education and community participation are still to be found. This study recommends increasing citizen involvement, battery waste management, and strengthening project sustainability monitoring. These findings reinforce the importance of a sustainable and inclusive approach in renewable energy projects at the local level.]]>
