STRATEGI EKONOMI NASIONAL INDONESIA DALAM MERESPONS DAMPAK PERANG DAGANG GLOBAL: PENGUATAN KEBIJAKAN TRANSISI ENERGI TERBARUKAN SEBAGAI SOLUSI ATAS ESKALASI TARIF LISTRIK DAN KETIDAKPASTIAN EKONOMI INTERNASIONAL

Abstract

The prolonged global trade war, particularly between major powers such as the United States and China, has caused significant disruptions in global supply chains and triggered economic uncertainty. One of the most visible impacts of this conflict is the surge in global energy prices, which has led to increased electricity tariffs in many developing countries, including Indonesia. This rise has put pressure on both industrial and household sectors while also increasing inflation risks and weakening national economic competitiveness. In response, Indonesia has taken strategic steps by strengthening its energy transition policies, notably through Presidential Regulation No. 112 of 2022, which emphasizes the development of renewable energy as a long-term solution to the global energy crisis. This study, using a qualitative approach through literature review and policy analysis, explores Indonesia’s national economic strategy in facing the impact of global trade tensions. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s renewable energy strategy is built on three pillars: abundant natural resources (solar, wind, geothermal), strong political commitment to carbon reduction, and the involvement of international partners and private investors. The study recommends enhancing fiscal incentives, legal certainty, infrastructure development, and cross-sectoral collaboration. With these efforts, Indonesia has the potential not only to withstand global pressures but also to emerge as a resilient, sovereign, and sustainable green economy.
