Yogyakarta, October 20, 2025 — Energy is one of the vital needs in national development and the utilization of the country’s natural resources. Historically, energy demand has relied on fossil fuels, which requires a gradual transformation toward New and Renewable Energy (NRE). This transformation can begin with aspects of knowledge, human resources for management and development, as well as the availability of adequate infrastructure. Fossil fuel-based energy has contributed to global climate change and tends to cause global warming. An important aspect that must not be overlooked is that the development of NRE is strongly influenced by, and impacts, the social aspects of communities around NRE implementation sites. read more
