The Law establishes the principles of geothermal energy activities as follows: a. benefits; b. efficiency; c. justice; d. economic optimization in the utilization of energy resources; e. affordability; f. sustainable; g. independence; h. security and safety; and i. preservation of the environment. It also addresses the rights and obligations, licenses and permits to regulate the use of geothermal energy. Focus is on environmental aspects and on the involvement of local communities.

Includes provisions on favoring local content requirement by every contractor, domestic producer, and supplier of goods and/or provider of service procuring goods and/or service in upstream oil and natural gas business activities. In particular, they shall be obliged to use, maximize and empower domestic goods, service as well as engineering and design potentials fulfilling the quantity, quality, delivery time and price. Price preference is also given to local content requirement (TKDN).

The Law No. 30/2009 of 2009 provides rules for the development, generation and distribution of electricity.

This Regulation is related to the Regulation on Energy Conservation of 2009. It establishes provisions for energy conservation and management, and affirms that energy preservation shall be systematic, planned and integrated efforts should be on preserving domestic energy resources and improving efficiency. The Regulation addresses the following aspects: General Provisions (Chap. I); Implementation of Energy Management (Chap. II); Implementation of Saving Energy Policy (Chap. III); Management and Supervision (Chap. IV); Incentive and Desincentive (Chap. V); Closing Provisions (Chap. VI).

This Government Regulation is aligned with the provisions of the National Energy Policy of 2007 to support the systematic energy conservation. In particular, it addresses: 1. responsibility of the government, regional governments, entrepreneurs and communities; 2. realization of energy conservation covering the whole phases of energy management, including energy supply, energy exploitation, energy utilization and conservation of energy resources; 3. standards and labels; 4. incentives and disincentive; and 5. fostering and supervision.

These Guidelines set forth the principles for the creation of the General Plan on National Energy (RUEN), the General Plan on Energy in Provincial Region, (RUED-P), and the General Plan on Energy of Regency/Municipality regions ( Regency-Mu­nicipality -RUED).

The policy clarifies the specific action for financial support of the new energy vehicles, including the subsidies standards, the requirements for the products and new energy vehicles companies, etc.

The Roadmap on energy cooperation between the European Union and China emphasizes the intentions of both sides to enhance collaboration in areas of mutual interest related to the management of energy system on both the supply and the demand sides, in order to promote the low-carbon development, protect the environment, address climate change and encourage clean energy development, and lists out the actions.

The National Energy policy is set to provide the direction of national energy management to achieve energy independence and national energy security to support national sustainable development. In particular, it focuses on re-establishing Indonesia’s energy independence by re-directing energy resources from export to the domestic market, and aims to rebalance the energy mix towards indigenous energy supplies. This includes minimising oil consumption and nuclear energy, whilst increasing the exploitation and consumption of renewables and coal, and optimising gas production and consumption. Targets include a share of renewable energy in the energy mix of not less than 23% in 2025 and at least 31% in 2050 provided that its economical fulfilled; and an electrification rate of around 100% by 2020.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Summit held in September 2015 laid out common visions of the world to seek win-win cooperation and development of all. The Summit adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which provides guidance to national development and international development cooperation in the next 15 years, marking a milestone in global development process. China attaches great importance to the 2030 Agenda and has made great efforts to its implementation. The 13th Five-Year Plan was reviewed linking the 2030 Agenda with domestic mid-and-long term development strategies. Great efforts will be made to publicize the agenda nationwide in order to mobilize domestic resources and raise public awareness, creating favorable social environment for the implementation. China will strengthen inter-sector policy coordination, review and revise relevant laws and regulations to provide policy and legislative guarantee for the implementation.
