Almost all of the energy needs in DIY such as fuel oil (BBM) is supplied from outside the area with increasing use every year. Therefore, this research aims to find out and analyze the driving factors of empowerment and development of rural communities through the development of electrical energy derived from Hybrid Power Plants in Pantai Baru, DIY, Indonesia. Data are analyzed by employing Structural Equation Modeling based Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that the driving factors of empowerment and development of rural communities are influenced by individual characteristics, environment, and group support.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>:<strong> </strong>fossil energy, hybrid power plants, community empowerment.</p><p><strong>J</strong><strong>EL Classifications</strong>: P18, Q30, Q35</p><p>DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.10533">https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.10533</a></p> ER -
