Coal and natural gas energy policy for Indonesian electricity security
Keywords:
energy policy, electricity, securitizationAbstract
Electrical energy is very important for national security, so it is important for every country to ensure the availability of electrical energy. The majority of power plants in Indonesia use coal and natural gas energy. The availability of raw materials for electricity generation in Indonesia is threatened because of the policy of increasing the number of exports of raw materials. This study examines the policy on the availability of coal and natural gas energy as an important instrument in national security. This study uses the concept of energy security based on vital energy system vulnerability, availability, accessibility, affordability and acceptability. Then, this study uses qualitative methods to explore policies in managing primary energy, coal and natural gas for the benefit of electricity in Indonesia. The results of this study found that the availability of coal and the accessibility of natural gas are the biggest vulnerability factors for the State Electricity Company as a provider of electricity in Indonesia, in addition to the aspect of price affordability and environmental regime pressures that are factors for the vulnerability of vital energy systems for electricity in Indonesia.
