challenge is to strengthen national energy security. Because energy is a strategic conditions to support
national development through the availability of sufficient, safe, and energy- quality and evenly
distributed throughout Indonesia at an affordable price, it requires a government policy that supports
national energy security. An attempt was made by the Government of Indonesia to ensure energy
security is to issue a policy for the use of renewable energy in Indonesia .
