The rising usage of fossil fuels increases greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leading to global climate change. Thus, addressing global environmental challenges requires a widespread switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Renewable energy reduces GHG emissions, extreme weather, and climate change while boosting energy efficiency. Indonesia ranks among Asia-Pacific's top five renewable energy producers. Indonesia, a vast country with abundant natural resources, has seen a rise in renewable energy demand as consumption has increased. Thus, this study examines Indonesia's renewable and sustainable energy technologies' existing position, possibilities, and future improvements. With 420 gigawatts (GW) of theoretical renewable energy capacity, Indonesia has great potential. This capacity includes 208 GW of solar, 75 GW of hydro, 61 GW of wind, 33 GW of biofuel, 24 GW of geothermal, and 19 GW of micro-hydro. The need to increase renewable energy consumption in Indonesia is driven by environmental and economic growth laws. This review study is expected to guide future research on renewable energy technology in Indonesia. This study would guide energy-related policies, particularly renewable energy ones, to meet future demands and goals.

Energy transition towards renewable energy in Indonesia
Heritage and Sustainable Development
This study aims to see how efforts to optimize renewable energy resources are seen in the energy transition in Indonesia. High fossil energy consumption is the primary driver of a country’s need for an energy transition. Renewable energy is important because it is a natural energy source that can be renewed freely and without limits. This research is qualitative and descriptive, with data sources from government reports, related articles, and various regulations on renewable energy. The results showed that the optimization of this energy is opposite from the massive potential of renewable energy in Indonesia. Indonesia’s primary energy sources are still dominated by fossil energy and impact various problems, especially the environment. The findings showed that energy must be converted into renewable energy. Policies that need to be aligned and fully aligned with energy transition efforts in Indonesia are obstacles to efforts to transition to renewable energy. The renewable energy po...

The government of the Republic of Indonesia has reported that Indonesia potentially have more than 400,000 Megawatts (MW) of renewable energy by 2021. However, there is no comprehensive study about the trend of development and priority movement in the renewable energy sector. The main reason for the absence of this study is the lack of significant information and reports on the prospects for renewable energy in Indonesia. The present study aims to provide a basic understanding of renewable energy sector growth in Indonesia. The study uses quantitative analysis with the secondary data obtained from the literature. The result showed that the hydropower plant contributed the highest energy production in Indonesia followed by bioenergy, solar energy, and wind energy. Furthermore, the production trends of hydropower plants and bioenergy were relatively stagnant over the last 11 years, and the highest significant improvement was found in the solar energy sector. However, the number of solar energy production was far away from the targeted goal in RUEN (National Energy Master Plan/Rencana Utama Energi Nasional) 2017. The high cost of the solar energy sector become the main reason for the unsuccessful development of solar energy in Indonesia. Furthermore, several administrations and regulations were found to the political reasons which delay the energy transition improvement. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia must be able to improve and form regulations in the form of tax reduction regulations and electricity export-import subsidies to spur the growth and development of renewable energy in Indonesia. Opening up space for renewable energy investment in the public sector is a real contribution to society and is a solution to accelerate the achievement of the energy transition in Indonesia.
Potential Analysis and Regulations of Solar Power Plant Development in Indonesia
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2022
Coal energy is still dominantly used as fuel for power plants as a system for meeting the needs of electrical energy in Indonesia. At the end of 2021 the government issued a policy to limit coal exports with the aim of meeting coal needs for general electricity. The government predicts that by 2025 the need for electricity will reach 125 GW, and the government also issues policies with the aim of renewing energy having a role in 2025 by 5% and specifically for solar power plant contributing 800 MW. The method used is a literature study that is used to collect data relating to renewable energy policies, the potential for new and renewable energy in Indonesia, the potential of each province related to the use of solar energy, problems that still exist in the development of PV mini-grid, and analysis of solutions for development. next solar power plant. The potential for solar power plant development in Indonesia where solar energy has a potential of 207,898 MW in all parts of Indonesia, but in practice the use of solar energy is still minimal at 0.04%. The government has the responsibility in managing national energy for the availability of national energy, various policies and regulations are issued for the development of new and renewable energy, especially in the development of solar power plant. Several problems also still arise related to the development of PV minigrid, especially in remote and outermost areas in Indonesia, such as the high cost of development and the lack of investors in new and renewable energy. The government should also strive to implement policies and regulations in order to achieve the target in the medium term of 2025 by providing flexible policies to investors and also on technical developments that need to be standardized for products.
The Development of Photovoltaic Application in Indonesia: A Review
Proceedings of the 8th Annual Southeast Asian International Seminar, 2019
Indonesia has abundant solar energy potential because it is located near the equator. To reduce dependence on fossil energy sources, the government began to promote renewable energy sources; one of them is solar energy. The government has made a strategy for implementing solar energy by issuing regulations and also cooperating with private parties and foreign countries. However, the dissemination of photovoltaic are quite low and need to be encouraged by private investment support. At the same time, the government has to be more active in synchronising the rules in technical, administrative and financial point of views. This study presents the development of photovoltaic application in Indonesia which might be useful in improving the utilization of photovoltaic in Indonesia. The production of solar panels is also being encouraged, at this time the national industry has been able to produce solar panels with a composition of local content that continues to increase. The research to analyse the main function of photovoltaic for generating electrical power has also been carried out. For examples are for household electricity and street lighting and other automation systems. Additional advantages of photovoltaic technology to absorbing heat have been proposed in several studies on photovoltaic/thermal. Furthermore, there are some potential challenges to overcome. Those are the utilization of heat energy and the floating photovoltaic which solve the lacks of land area.

Indonesia has an increasing electricity demand that is mostly met with fossil fuels. Although Indonesia plans to ramp up Renewable Energy Technologies (RET), implementation has been slow. This is unfortunate, as the RET potential in Indonesia might be higher than currently assumed given the archipelago’s size. However, there is no literature overview of RET potentials in Indonesia and to what extent they can meet current and future electricity demand coverage. This paper reviews contemporary literature on the potential of nine RET in Indonesia and analyses their impact in terms of area and demand coverage. The study concludes that Indonesia hosts massive amounts of renewable energy resources on both land and sea. The potentials in the academic and industrial literature tend to be considerably larger than the ones from the Indonesian Energy Ministry on which current energy policies are based. Moreover, these potentials could enable a 100% renewables electricity system and meet future...
A review on energy scenario and sustainable energy in Indonesia
The global energy consumption is likely to grow faster than the population growth. The fuel consumption was growing from 6630 million tons of oil equivalents (Mtoe) in 1980 to 11,163 Mtoe in 2009. This projected consumption will increase 1.5% per year until 2030 and reach 16,900 Mtoe and the main drivers of this growth are mostly developing countries in Asia. Indonesia is one of the developing countries and energy supply is an important factor for all-around development. The country’s energy consumption still depends on non-renewable energy such as crude oil, coal and natural gas as sources of energy. Utilization of fossil fuel continuously contributes to huge amount of greenhouse gases emission that leads to climate change. Facing such an unfavorable situation, the government of Indonesia prioritizes on energy supply securities by diversification of energy resources. The energy mixes in Indonesia based on five main resources; these are crude oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, and renewable energy. Although the country encourages utilizing renewable energy, the contribution is only around 3%. Considering natural condition and geography, this country is blessed with great potential of renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, micro hydro and biomass energy. Noting the potential of renewable and sustainable energy resources in the country, the government must pay more attention on how to utilize it. Many efforts have been done to promote renewable energy such as to create energy policy and regulations, yet it still did not give any satisfactory result. Government, non-government agencies and the public should take a more proactive step to promote and use renewable energy in order to achieve the secure and environmentally sustainable energy resources.
