As mandated by Article 11 (2) of Law No. 30 of 2007 on Energy (“Energy Law”),[1] the House of Representatives has approved the Government’s Draft Regulation on National Energy Policy (“2014 Government Regulation”) which set outs guidelines for energy management policy planning until 2050.[2]

The National Energy Policy[3] under the 2014 Government Regulation acts as guidance for the Government in drafting regulations for the energy sector. Prior to the 2014 Government Regulation, the same matter was regulated by Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2006 (“2006 Presidential Regulation”).
