【 摘 要 】

The Banda Sea region which includes the Moluccas and Nusa Tenggara consists of 3,478 small islands separated from each other by deep seas. This region can be regarded as the most complex energy supply chain in Indonesia due to geographic condition and lacking of energy infrastructure. The newly issued Indonesian general plan of energy aims to establish a strategy for planning the region's energy mix until 2050. By then, national primary energy should not be dominantly supported by oil and gas, and renewable energy should contribute 31%. In addition, government has committed to attain near 100% electricity ratio by 2020. Recent hydrocarbon discoveries and ocean energy mapping indicate that the Banda Sea region is an attractive area where the country's primary energy needs may partly be fulfilled. However, the region's sustainability in energy production still has to be established with greater efforts. Hydrocarbon search has been discouraged by the geologically risky nature of the region. The implementation of renewable energy, particularly ocean energy, is hampered by technology immaturity and constraining operational rules and policies.
