ABSTRACT

FITRIANI SAID. A Study on the Utilization of the Potential Renewable Energy Resources for Rural Electrical Power Plants in East Kalimantan  (supervised by Muhammad Arief and Salama Manjang). 

The Province of East Kalimantan is a region with abundant natural and energy resources. However, many parts of the region, especially those in the remote and rural area, are not reached by the electrical energy distribution system. This is due to the centralized policy of the previous central government, which has been changed recently by new laws of autonomy, such as the Decree number 22/2001 concerning Oil and Natural Gas and Decree number 25/1999 regarding the authority of the central and local government. The laws have given more authority to the local government to determine its own energy policy. This research has uncovered the facts that there are potential renewable energy resources recommended to be exploited by the local government for the remote and rural areas.

This study has shown that ............. square kilometers of remote and rural area inhabited by ............ people has no electricity. On the other hand, all power generation systems in the region, with the total capacity of ............. MVA, consist of oil-based power plants or other non-renewable energy resources. It is recommended that the local government should close the energy gap between the industrialized area and the remote and rural area in the region by utilizing renewable energy resources such as hydropower, wind power, solar energy, biomass, and other unconventional energy resources. The total realistic power capacity generated by these renewable energy resources is estimated to be .......... MVA.   

Keterangan: titik-titiknya tolong diisi dengan angka-angka yang diperoleh dari penelitian. Kalo’ ada data kuantitatif lain yang dihasilkan dari penelitian ini, tolong dicantumkan juga.......... Jangan sampai abstrak-nya seperti hasil penelitian ilmu sosial, kok tidak ada angka-angkanya.
