| Summary: | The electricity sector is one of the core sectors in a country's economy. The
availability of a sufficient and reliable supply of electrical energy is crucial to
supporting economic growth, industry, and the comfort of society. The 26th
Conference of the Parties (COP26) held in Glasgow, Scotland at the end of 2021
resulted in an agreement between Indonesia and other countries to gradually phase
out the use of fossil fuels as an energy source, known as the Net Zero Emissions 2060
program. Therefore, the development and construction of renewable energy-based
power infrastructure are among the environmental quality improvement programs
being implemented by Indonesia. According to the Net Zero Emission Indonesia
Road Map, the share of renewable energy power plants will reach 26.5% by 2030,
dominated by hydro, geothermal, and solar energy. The potential for hydro energy,
according to the Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik (RUPTL) 2021-2030, is
24.6 GW based on screenings of several aspects, including economic feasibility,
environmental impact, including forestry status, and demand aspects from a total
estimated potential of 95 GW. The operating hydro power plants currently utilized
amount to 5.6 GW, or 22.7% of the total potential. Meanwhile, those included in the
development plan according to the RUPTL amount to 10.4 GW, or 42.2%. Based on
this, hydro-based power plants have a clear direction and objective for growth and
development in Indonesia. This study is expected to enable the implementation of
environmentally friendly power plant investment projects by optimally utilizing
existing water resources to achieve Net Zero Emission by 2060. The results obtained
from this study will identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to
the development of hydropower. Based on the SWOT matrix, the assessment score is
in quadrant I with significant Strength and Opportunity values, making the
appropriate strategy position for hydropower development in Indonesia aggressive.
Analyzing using the Delphi method yields four criteria influencing hydropower
development in Indonesia, namely technical, techno-economic, permitting &
regulation, and social & environmental criteria. The recommended effective water
resource management strategies for hydropower development, based on calculations
using the AHP method, are the Utilization of Multifunctional PUPR Dams with a
weight of 0.445 as first priority, Pumped Storage Hydropower with a weight of 0.283
as second priority, and Renewable Based Industrial Development (REBID) with a
weight of 0.266 as third priority. |
