Abstract
Indonesia had announced its target to reduce carbon emission by achieving 0% Net Zero Emission (NZE) by 2060. So starting in 2022, the Government must update the regulations governing the energy sector to encourage the implementation of renewable energy. As an archipelagic country, one of the renewable energy potentials is Ocean Renewable Energy (ORE). The contribution of the ORE to Indonesia’s National Energy Mix is almost none. Thus, it is a good chance for the government to give more incentives for implementing ORE, especially in eastern Indonesia where they are abundantly available. Since the infrastructure and supporting facilities there, including industries, are sparse and the supply chain management depends on Java Island, it needs special regulations to speed up the implementation of ORE. This paper studies the supply chain management of the implementation of marine current turbines base on secondary data and the experience of engineers from the National Research and Innovation Agency when they implemented the converter technology of the marine current turbine at Larantuka Strait, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Results In this study, the implementation of ocean current turbines must be integrated with government policies related to maritime connectivity and security because the energy produced is large enough and suitable for execution.
