Kebijakan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Liquified Natural Gas Untuk Pemenuhan Kebutuhan Energi Listrik

Abstract

This study aims to determine the policy of fulfilling electrical energy in Indonesia and the policy of developing liquified natural gas (LNG) infrastructure in the fulfillment of electrical energy in Indonesia. The method used in this research is normative research so that the data used is secondary data collected through literature study. The results of the study conclude that first, the laws and regulations related to electricity in Indonesia are described in several electricity policies including the General Plan for the Provision of Electricity (RUPTL). The electricity policy currently being worked on by the government is the 35 GW Electricity Development Program based on the 2019-2028 RUPTL. Second, electricity infrastructure development policies are spread across various laws and regulations and decisions. The LNG infrastructure development policy itself is contained in the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 13K/13/MEM/2020 on the Assignment of the Implementation of the Supply and Development of LNG Infrastructure and the Conversion of the Use of Oil Fuel with LNG in the Provision of Electric Power. This policy encourages the development of LNG infrastructure and has an impact on accelerating development towards meeting the needs of electrical energy, especially for eastern Indonesia. The challenge is that there are still LNG export commitments with other countries that have the potential to hinder the fulfillment of domestic LNG needs.
