Abstract

West Sumatera Province is the province with the highest renewable energy mix target in Indonesia. To realize this target, the Province of West Sumatera has designed a policy and institutional or governance strategy. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to see the policies and forms of governance in the development of renewable energy in West Sumatera Province descriptively. The research was conducted in a descriptive qualitative way using 2 (two) data collection techniques: Interview and Documentation Review. Policy planning that targets 1) Formulation of the legal basis for development and utilization; 2) Development of utilization areas in the form of power plants (solar cell, garbage, wind, biomass, micro-hydro, mini-hydro, water, geothermal); and 3) Empowerment of local communities to support the success of energy sustainability in renewable energy installations. However, the wide-scale of energy development requires institutional forms that involve multi-stakeholders: government bodies and non-government bodies. However, unfortunately, in its implementation, the involvement of these stakeholders in an ideal collaboration forum never happened. Stakeholder involvement is limited to official formalities. We have again found the “magical word”: the tasks, principals, and functions that hinder the movement of the bureaucracy in Indonesia.
