Abstract

The elimination of the mechanism for calculating the export-import of electricity from rooftop solar power plant users is allegedly able to reduce public interest in using it, which can hamper Indonesia’s primary energy mix target in the form of renewable energy. This condition is not in line with the objectives of the 2017-2050 National Energy General Plan or Rencana Umum Energi Nasional (RUEN). This research analyses whether the rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) regulation has validity, inner morality, and is in accordance with the principle of legality or not to be enforced. This normative legal research uses primary legal materials (laws and regulations on Rooftop Solar Power Plant Systems and in particular the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources or Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Regulation on Rooftop Solar Power Plant Connected to the Electricity Network of Holders of Electricity Supply Business Permits or Izin Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik (IUPTL) for the Public Interest) and secondary legal materials (books, journals, proceedings, reports, and other scientific articles). The technique that used on this research is library research. As a result, the regulation of Rooftop Solar Power Plant Systems in Indonesia has not fulfilled the 8 principles of legality, which means that it does not have the inner morality of law, so it does not have the validity to be enforced. The principles that are not fulfilled are the clarity of law because of the unclear objectives of the contradictory objectives between laws and regulations, no contradictions in the laws, which are not in accordance with the principles of energy management, and congruence between the official action and declared rule because the government does not understand the need to maintain these objectives, thus passing laws and regulations with contradictory objectives. The government does not have to abolish the electricity export-import calculation mechanism but can still apply it with percentage or capacity provisions. This will be able to significantly encourage the achievement of the level of primary energy mix in the form of New Renewable Energy in Indonesia.
