Bionergy is the energy obtained from biological organisms or other organic sources, and one of the vital needs as it is an important infrastructure to fulfill human basic needs. In the context of regional development, the limitations on access to energy, the use of fossil energy, and the needs itself increase social, economic, and environmental problems. On the other hand, Indonesia has the potential for its abundant resources, one of which is palm oil. Indonesia as the world's largest palm oil producer has various criticisms regarding its management, one of which is resulting the banned by European Union due to the management of palm oil in Indonesia that they consider not environmentally friendly. Even so, palm oil can be used as a renewable energy source, so there is an opportunity to use palm oil as a renewable energy source in overcoming various previous problems. One approach that can be used to plan for sustainable development is regulation that forms the basis of development planning itself. However, it is not yet known how far the readiness of regulations, especially to advance the development of palm oil-based renewable energy, so this study is to identify policy mapping or regulation in assessing the readiness of bioenergy development in Indonesia. By reviewing various literature, three general variables were obtained, namely energy policy, economic policy, and supporting policy in bioenergy development in Indonesia. This research was conducted by identifying variables through content analysis, coding analysis, and stakeholder analysis, and in assessing the level of readiness it was carried out by scoring weighting and AHP methods to assess the performance of policies resulting from information acquisition from 21 respondents, representation of 19 institutions, namely the government, private sectors, foreign actors, and research institutions. This research concludes that the readiness of regulations in developing bioenergy in Indonesia is ready, but in its path, there are several constraints and obstacles in each component of the policy.
