Indonesian need of energy are
very high, and depended highly on fossil fuels. This is a disadvantage for
people living in remote coast area, where fossil energy supply are scarce and
expensive. On the other hand, fossil
fuel are diminishing, while the need of energy is constanty increasing, forcing Indonesian people to find
and use alternative energy sources. On the other hand, Indonesia is a maritime
country, with high energy potential in the form of sea wave energy, which could
be utilized to support development of Coastal community. In this paper, a sea
wave-powered power plant is proposed to support economic development by
providing renewable energy.
In this paper, scientific
economic analysis are given as feasibility study for Indonesian government to
invest in sea-based energy utilization with Blue Economy concept. This is to
support Indonesian Economic Acceleration Master Plan or known as MP3EI, which
move synergically with triple track strategy, that is, pro-poor (poverty alleviation), pro-growth,
pro-job (by creating jobs), and pro-environment. This is also to support in
achieving Millenium Development Goals. This paper also provides explanation for potential sea-wave
powered power plant which may be implemented.
This paper concludes that
alternative energy utilization by investing on power plant technology is a
strategic step in supporting economic activity of coastal people. Feasibility of
sea-wave energy utilization is based on study of sea-wave energy potential in
Indonesia, with economic development analysis in coastal area, and
effectiveness of implementation of applied technology to expand economy and to
encourage development equalization.
