Analysis of the Effect of Economic, Population, and Energy Growth, as well as the Influence on Sustainable Energy Development in Indonesia

Abstract

All economic activities require energy and are natural energy sources that can be utilized as much as possible by the community for prosperity and sustainable development. The potential for renewable/sustainable energy in Indonesia is very large and its utilization has not been maximized. Consumption of sustainable energy according to current data is still very low, this is because it is still dominated by fossil energy. This study aims to analyze the effects of economic growth, population, and subsidized energy, as well as their impact on sustainable energy development. Based on the secondary data used in this study obtained from World Energy, the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, which was obtained in the previous three years (2018-2021). This analysis uses a multiple linear regression model and the results of this research model show that economic growth on population growth does not show a major influence on sustainable energy consumption in Indonesia for three years, fossil fuel energy consumption shows a positive and significant effect on sustainable energy consumption in Indonesia.

The Causality Between Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission in Indonesia

“…Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and switch to cleaner energy sources are important steps in addressing global climate change. However, along with that, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia must also consider sustainable economic growth in order to be able to answer the social and economic needs of the community (Pasaribu et al, 2023;Rostiana et al, 2022).…”

Evaluation and Modeling of Green Energy Consumption in North Sumatra, Indonesia

“…Indonesia has achieved this target with a national renewable energy target of around 23% in 2025 and 31% in 2050. Indonesia is known to have all the potential for new and renewable energy (Langer et al, 2021), (Pasaribu et al, 2023).…”

Implementation of Edge Computing IoT-based Database Management System for Renewable Energy Management in Indonesia

“…Indonesia, as a rapidly growing country, faces the challenge of balancing economic growth with sustainable energy use. The integration of renewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind power, is essential for creating resilient and environmentally conscious energy ecosystems [1], [2]. By boosting the utilization of renewable energy, Indonesia can reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to net-zero emissions [2].…”
