Language : English VIa : Zoom Webinar

With  the  increasingly  serious  energy  shortage  and  global  warming,  sustainable  development  has  become  an  urgent  requirement  all  over  the  world. Indonesia has great renewable energy potential, with a target should achieved 23% renewable energy mix by 2025, but it is difficult to achieve this target, because we need to plan all sectors well especially in the technology, for example is smart grid. As the only electricity offtaker in Indonesia, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has a very important role to create best regulation for smart grid implementation and PLN has a very important role in building the enabling environment that can accelerate the development of renewable energy in Indonesia. Considering that until 2025, PLN still needs to add 13 GW of renewable energy generators to reach the RUEN target. For this reason, private sector participation is needed to develop renewable energy projects of various scales so that targets can be met on time. To accelerate the process of developing renewable energy projects, a standard technology that meets sustain requirements is a necessity.

The  integration  of  smart  grid  technologies,  sustainable  energy resources and  low-carbon  emissions  in  power  system is  an important  route  to sustainable  development.  However,  the  difficulties  in  dealing  with  intermittent  power  and  the  low  utilization  efficiency  of  power  system  appeared  to  be  obstacles. Smart grid technologies used in power generation side can effectively improve the amount of intermittent clean energy generation in power system, improve energy utilization; smart grid can also promote energy saving in  power  grid  links. We  have  shown  that  smart  grid  can  make  a  significant  and  comprehensive  contribution  to  energy  and  environment  sustainability,  achieves  energy  saving  and  emission  reduction,  and mitigates environmental degradation and climate warming.

Goals:

• - Knowing the role of Smart Grid for energy efficiency in Indonesia, especially in achieving Indonesia's energy mix targets and commitments.
• - Discuss precise and clear regulations for the implementation of Smart Grid and energy efficiency in the electricity grid system in various places and conditions in Indonesia
• - Understand the right smart grid to be implemented in the right Indonesia.
• To know the overview of the role smart grid plays in promoting energy sustainability.
