In the framework of climate change, the use of renewable energy as a clean energy become
a worldwide trend as it could potentially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as
global warming from the conventional energy sources. In this case, Indonesia has a sizeable
Potential Renewable Energy that is spread across various regions, where the primary
advantage of using this renewable energy potential in Indonesia is the generally-low
operating cost, by utilizing a sustainable local energy source, and the current regulatory
support in the field of renewable energy is proved to be favourable. Therefore, supporting the
development of Renewable Energy in Indonesia
The purpose of developing renewable energy is to achieve the goals and objectives of the
renewable energy development as stated in RPJMN 2015-2019 (Portions of renewable
energy amounting to 16% of final energy mix) mix to reach the target of 23% renewable
energy by 2025 and 31% in 2050 from final energy mix in accordance with the Indonesia
National energy Policy (Government Regulation No. 79 of 2014), and utilizing the role of
renewable energy to support the achievement of Electrification ratio 96.6% and electricity
consumption per capita 1200 kWh in 2019.
Methods used to achieve these ends are literatures study, analyzing the data based on
renewable energy, also by providing solutions and advice in developing a renewable energy
in Indonesia
According to survey, National electrical energy supply in 2014 amounted to 53.352 MW,
consisting of Fossil energy amounted to 42 022 MW (79%), and renewable energy
amounting to 11,330 MW (21%). The desired target in 2019 amounted to 96 320 MW with an
explanation of energy Fossil amounted to 79 366 MW (82%) and renewable energy
amounting to 16 954 MW (18%), so that the energy shortage of 42 968 MW.
Based on these data, the efforts to reach the target until 2019 is not a trivial matter, whereas
by 2025 the supply of electrical energy national target of 115 MW with a share of renewable
energy by 23%, with respect to the above strategy of renewable energy development in
Indonesia is Strengthening the role of renewable energy in the energy mix: (1) incentives and
the right price to encourage investment; (i) the use of various renewable energy and bioenergy
for power generation, and (iii) the use of biofuels. As well as increasing accessibility:
the supply of electricity to the islands and isolated rural villages, including the village of
fishermen if possible, with solar energy and other renewable energy. Harnessing the
potential of water resources for hydroelectric power, among others: (i) incentives to
accelerate the development of hydropower, which dispensation utilization of forest land for
the construction of hydroelectric power, setting the price of electricity and the provision of
land, (ii) simplification of regulations and licensing requirements document for hydropower
and an increase in energy use efficiency in Indonesia.
