ABSTRACT

The purposes of this study are to examine the potential new and renewable energy (NRE) sources and policy to support sustainable energy in Indonesia. This research is a type of qualitative, the data of NRE policy was analyzed by regulatory impact assessment (RIA), and NRE technology is analyzed by strength-weakness-opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis. The results of the study show that Indonesia has many types of NRE sources; however, the target for obtaining NRE cannot be met in Indonesia. These findings have an implication for the importance of reforming policies in the energy sector. Moreover, the finding can encourage universities to conduct technological research to develop NRE, and for the government to become the basis for national energy development.
