Abstract

One of the causes of climate change is the use of fossil fuels. therefore, this triggers efforts to use renewable energy as a substitute fuel. According to REN21 data The development of renewable energy has declined from 2011-2016 along with the worlds energy needs. This issue is triggered, one of which is the policymaking of budget policies from several countries in the world, including in Indonesia. In this context, policy and government are the main components of implementing renewable energy. Therefore, the governments attitude towards renewable energy plays an important role in the success of developing renewable energy. We conducted a survey to explore the attitude of the local government to the potential of renewable energy in Indonesia which has the potential to vary from each region. One area may have more renewable energy potential than the other. The results of this quantitative study are expected to help national policies on the development of renewable energy not only in Indonesia, but also in other countries where the diversity of opportunities spread throughout the region.
