Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of changes in electricity policy in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the development of electricity sector regulations in Indonesia and their impact.

In 2014 the Indonesian government plans to build power generation infrastructure reaching 35 thousand MW, and the percentage of infrastructure ownership is private (foreign) is more dominant, this is contrary to article 33 paragraph 2 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
