Summary:Every year, electricity demand is always increasing, especially in Indonesia where the deficiency of electrical power plants still becomes an issue. Currently, it is necessary to find other alternative sources of renewable fuels that can be used as power plants. One of the solutions is through the development of Micro Hydro Power Plant. Furthermore, social feasibility related to the ability and willingness of the local community is important to be carried out to develop and manage the micro-hydroelectricity sustainably. This study used quantitative data collection techniques through surveys by questionnaires in Paweden Village, Banjarnegara, Central Java. Community capacity analysis is carried out through 3 indicators, such as human capital, organizational resources, and social capital. Spatial analysis is also conducted to find out the affordability of Micro Hydro Power Plant access to the local community. The results showed that the Micro Hydro Power Plant is sufficient to cover 95.87% of the entire Paweden Village area. Related to the electricity needs in Paweden Village, the electricity supply is still insufficient based on the local community opinion. Based on the survey, although the quality of human resources is still limited, the willingness of the community to participate in the development and management of the Micro Hydro Power Plant is considerably high.
