Indonesia’s Compliance with the Paris Agreement through Energy Transition in Power Generation 2016-2020

Abstract

The Paris Agreement has the goal to prevent global warming from staying below 2 degrees Celsius. Energy transition of power plants is one of the mitigation action plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels in the energy sector. Indonesia has great potential for renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, and hydropower. Many developed countries have succeeded in reducing GHG emissions through the energy transition to power plants and Indonesia has the opportunity to gain valuable insights from the successful implementation of energy transition in power plants in other countries. Indonesia benefits from support provided by countries that have achieved success, as mandated by the Paris Agreement. Developed nations are obligated to assist developing countries like Indonesia. This study analyzes the form of Indonesia’s compliance in implementing the energy transition in power plants using Mitchell’s Compliance Theory. Researchers will analyze three indicators of influence, output, outcome, and impact. This research uses a qualitative method because the quantitative data obtained is data published by the government and ministries, which has gone through a calculation process. Researchers only use this data to see the type of Indonesian compliance through compliance theory.
