Indonesia’s archipelago country has enormous diversity, and potential for renewable energy (solar and wind energy), one of which is located on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province, but the need to use energy is still minimal. This is due to the lack of welfare of the population, which results in low energy production. Here is a great opportunity for Timor Island to become a new force in developing renewable energy in an archipelago as island charging, which is even the largest in the world. Island charging is expected to increase economic growth for the region by creating new benefits for the islands around Timor Island, which have a wealth of natural resources by supplying the energy needs of the mining industry such as those on Wetar Island, Maluku Province. End of this concept’s is the Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) on the Mobile Energy Storage System (MESS), which is influenced by both land and sea modes of transportation.
