Indonesia is the largest archipelago with 17,503 islands where 6000 populated islands and most of the islands are remote areas. This condition causes limited access to energy supplies such as electricity and fuel. Meanwhile, Indonesia has a variety of natural resources including renewable energy sources that have not been applied optimally. It is expected that the utilization of local renewable energy sources can guarantee the availability of electricity in remote areas so that it can support national development and security. To optimize renewable energy in remote areas, the government made Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation 38/2016 concerning the acceleration of electrification in undeveloped, remote, bordered, and small-populated rural areas through the implementation of small scale electricity supply businesses. To analyses the regulation and other supports, the SWOT method is used to know the impact of the regulation in the remote area. Coordination is needed between the Central Government and the Regional Governments. Also, control and evaluation of existing policies are required so that people in remote areas can get access to electricity optimally.
