Investigation of availability, demand, targets, economic growth and development of RE 2017-2050: Case study in Indonesia
Abstract The potential for (RE) in Indonesia is quite abundant and is predicted to replace conventional energy which continues to experience depletion and depletion in the next few years. However, until now the use of RE has only reached 2% of the existing potential of 441.7GW overall. The main overview of this work is to investigate the availability of RE that can be utilized for electricity generation in Indonesia. National energy demand and targets in the long run during the 2017-2050 period are also discussed. Besides, government policies in supporting RE development are also considered in this work. The results show that the potential for RE in Indonesia can be utilized and might replace conventional energy for decades. Utilization of RE for electricity generation can be achieved with a government policy that supports the investor as the executor of RE development. The selling price of electricity from the use of RE is cheaper than fossils so that people's economy is more affordable. Finally, the government's target for the utilization of RE as the main energy in Indonesia can be done by implementing several policies for the development of RE. Thus, greenhouse gas emissions and the use of petroleum fuels can reduced.
