The village has electricity in Indonesia reaching 73,656 village areas. While the rest there are around 2,500 villages still in complete darkness. The Regional Government made various efforts to encourage the acceleration of the use of solar energy in the Village. This study aims to determine the efforts to accelerate the policy of solar energy utilization as a solution to the scarcity of electrical energy in rural areas. The method used in this study is to review government policies related to the utilization of solar energy as an effort and solution to overcome the scarcity of energy sources. The results of the study show that efforts to accelerate the use of solar energy policies by the regional government are not all going well. This is due to the high funding expenditure and awareness of the legal culture of the people who are still low to maintain and maintain solar power generation facilities. There has been no effort through government instruments at the regional level to accelerate overcoming energy scarcity in rural areas, even though rural areas are rich in energy resources.
