Mendukung pengembangan energi terbarukan di daerah: Pelajaran dari Nusa Tenggara Barat

The document examines the gap between the high renewable energy potential in Nusa Tenggara Barat—specifically minihydro—and its actual installed capacity. It identifies critical bottlenecks including land acquisition, slow asset transfer, lack of coordination between on-grid and off-grid supplies, and inefficient permitting. The study argues for a 'PPPP' (Public-Private-People Partnership) approach, improved provincial capacity, and the strategic use of village funds to overcome these challenges.

• Nusa Tenggara Barat has significant untapped renewable energy potential; while minihydro alone could provide over 96.5 MW, the total installed renewable capacity (on and off-grid) was only 14 MW as of 2015.
• The development of minihydro is hindered by a combination of technical and governance issues, including land acquisition where prices spike when local communities learn of upcoming projects, and unclear land status between conservation areas and community forests.
• Administrative delays in asset transfer significantly stall projects; for example, a community-managed solar PV installation in Labangka, Sumbawa, remained non-operational because infrastructure and equipment had not been transferred from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to the Sumbawa Regency Government.
• There is a lack of coordination between the state electricity company (PLN) and off-grid providers, risking the obsolescence of off-grid infrastructure if PLN expands its grid into remote areas without coordination with cooperatives and small IPPs.
• Permitting processes are inefficient and fail to distinguish between commercial installations and community-based self-sufficiency projects, which may require different cost structures and simplified 'one-stop-shop' systems via Bappeda.
• Financial opportunities for renewable energy exist through the Indonesian government's removal of fuel subsidies and the allocation of village funds (approximately 1 billion Rupiah per village), as seen in Desa Sisik, Lombok Tengah, which developed 11 biogas units using village funds.
