Abstract

The Republic of Indonesia Law in the Energy Sector has been in existence since 2007 (UU No. 30 of 2007). The problem is Law No. 30 of 2007 does not yet support the energy transition in the electric power sector to focus more on using renewable energy to replace fossil energy, such as coal, oil, and natural gas which are used to generate electrical energy. This energy transition is a response to the Paris Agreement which has been ratified by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to determine the legal updates that need to be made to the current Energy Law (UU No. 30 of 2007) so that it can accommodate all changes that occur as a result of policies that occur nationally, as well as due to international pressure that cannot be avoided, or transformations that occur locally. The research method used in this research is the descriptive analysis method. This study found out that it is necessary to add to the current Energy Law included Restorative energy justice, Energy transition, energy justice, just transition, concepts of social happiness, Energy carriers such as hydrogen and batteries, ect.
