strength Energy Policies

The global economic crisis in 2008-2009 has shown enormous impact of oil prices on global economy. Oil prices at that rise above the U.S. $ 100 per barrel which sparked the global economic crisis due to high inflation due to rising production costs and prices of basic commodities. After the global economic crisis of energy security concept (energy security) are becoming increasingly relevant. fulfillment of supply and energy prices stabillitas be a top priority in determining the development policy in many countries.

Population growth and industrialization of the world amid the onslaught of the limited resources of fossil energy, especially energy, causing an imbalance of demand and supply.
 It is estimated by the year 2030 the world energy consumption is still dependent on the energy of non-renewable petroleum. In the context of the region, Asia Pacific with dynamic economic growth has only a few oil reserves and cause the oil needs depend on many other areas.

To some extent this situation is also experienced by Indonesia.
 Indonesia's energy condition is still relying on oil and gas. Petroleum reserves in the state declined, although the exploitation of gas reserves have increased. For new and renewable energy, although Indonesia has the potential of diverse, but the management and its use has not been optimal. Variety of potential energy include: vegetable energy sources, gas, geothermal, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy and ocean energy. On the other hand, Indonesia once the current oil exporting country has turned into a net importer of oil (net-importing country).

Government challenge ahead is to strengthen national energy security through a variety of policy tools aimed to encourage the development of new and renewable energy to achieve energy mix, increase energy efficiency and conservation as well as strengthening the role of government as a regulator of energy policy.

In the context of strengthening energy security, which needs to be underlined is that the aspect of energy security must be balanced with the access (purchasing power) of the energy community.
 This means that the strengthening of energy security should be integrated with sustainable development, especially related to the strengthening of socio-economic carrying capacity of the community.

To address oil dependence on other nations and to optimize the potential of national energy sources, the concept of energy security becomes very important for Indonesia.
 To that end, the Government of Indonesia has embarked on a number of policies to strengthen national energy security, among others through: the development of energy policy, which is based on the needs (demand side management), press a minimum of petroleum subsidies, reform of energy policy in order to strengthen good governance at the national energy sector and strengthen the framework of legislation and policy of energy diversification through the development of new energy and renewable and alternative energy.

In addition, Indonesia should catch up in science and technology, especially related to the management of new and renewable energy sources in a relatively fast through the process of technology transfer that can be achieved through strategic partnerships with partners from other countries without compromising the national interest.

Indonesia also encourage increased international cooperation in the renewable energy sector (such as: hydro power, wind power, geothermal and nuclear energy) in order to strengthen energy security, including reducing dependence on petroleum.
 This is in line with Presidential Decree No. 5 of 2006 on National Energy Policy (2006-2025) which outlines the performance target in the energy mix (energy mix) greater in 2025 so that the proportion of the use of petroleum will be reduced gradually. Currently, the share of petroleum targeted maximum of 20% (currently 52%), natural gas increased to 30%, coal up to 33%, geothermal (geo-thermal) and biofuels increase to 5% of new and renewable energy increased to 5%.

Indonesia also took the initiative to play a more active participation in various international energy forum either under the UN framework and outside the UN to improve the management capacity of energy policy include: intensify cooperation with the International Energy Agency (IEA) through the signing of the MOU and to the Energy Charter Observer
 . Besides, Indonesia also actively participated in the discussion of energy at G-20 forum. Related International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Indonesia is still considering the benefits of membership in the organization. In order for RI's participation in various international forums can be optimal, there should be an intensive collaboration and synergy with the involvement of domestic stakeholders including the relevant technical departments.
