PRESIDENTIAL REGULATION ON NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY.
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 1
Hereinafter referred to as:
- Energy js power exploited to do various activities conm sisting of electricity, mechanics, and heat.
- Source of Energy is part of natural resources, amongst others, oil and gas, coal, water, geothermal, peat moss, biomass, etc, directly or indirectly exploited as energy.
- Certain sources of alternative energy are certain sources of energy as substitutes of oil fuel.
- New Energy is energy produced by new technology, whether from renewable energy or unrenewable energy, amongst others, hydrogen; coal bed methane, liquefied coalf gasified coal, and nuclear.
- Renewable Energy js source of energy produced from energy sources, which will not naturally be used up and sustainable if managed properly, amongst others, geothermal, biofuel, river flow, solar heat, wind, biomass, biogas, sea waves, and sea-depth temperature.
- Energy Diversification is diversification of supply and exploitation of various sources of energy in the framework of energy supply optimization.
7. Energy Conversion is exploitation of energy efficiently and rationally without reducing exploitation of important energy, which is really needed.
8. Energy Elasticity is ratio between energy consumption and economic growth.
9. Economic Price is cost of production of per unit of energy including cost of environment and cost of margin.
CHAPTER II
PURPOSES AND TARGETS OF
NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY
Article 2

(2) Targets of the National Energy Policy are:
a. Achievement of energy elasticity of less than one (1) in 2005;
b. Creation of mix (printer) energy optimally in 2020, namely the role of each type of energy in national energy consumption:
1) Oil becomes less than twenty percent (20%);
2) Gas becomes less than thirw percent (30%);
3) Coal becomes less than thirw-three percent (33%);
4) Biofuei becomes more than five percent (5%);
5) Geothermal becomes more than fiv.e percent (5%);
