Abstract— Electricity is a strategic commodity in the country and the supply of electricity is one of the factors of national energy security. The supply of electricity is carried out with various sources, fossil energy and renewable energy sources. Global politics has focused on sustainability schemes so environmental issues have become a hot issue. The environmental issue has created a long-term target, namely Net Zero Emission 2060 and has led to the need for an energy transition that was formerly oriented to fossil energy to new and renewable energy (NRE). Coal-Fired Power Plants (CFPP) contribute emissions that are not environmentally friendly so they are not suitable for this purpose. Retirement of CFPP with 2 scenarios: 1) innovation in storage technology that is more economical to replace CFPP with NRE generators, 2) innovation in Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage (CCUS) technology. The transition in the energy sector does not only affect technology but also has impacts on other sectors. Economic and social challenges arise along with the energy transition. This paper uses a qualitative method with literature studies.

I.INTRODUCTION
Today, the concern of every country globally over the sovereignty and security of electricity is a priority for the nation, in general electricity is a commodity that cannot be separated from all human activities so it dominates the lives of many people. The demand for electricity will continue to increase according to world developments so it can be said that electricity is a strategic commodity [1]. In this case, electricity is present as a wheel of development of a country in all sectors. The country’s ability to provide electricity will be an important factor in how a country achieves its energy security. By inhibiting the use of electricity, it will cause problems in the development of a country, leading to not achieving people’s welfare. Therefore, the state is responsible for ensuring the availability of electricity. [2].
Indonesia’s policy regarding the availability of electricity is contained in Presidential regulations (Peraturan Presiden or Perpres) No. 14 of 2017 namely “Electricity development aims to ensure the availability of electricity in sufficient quantities, good quality, and reasonable prices in order to increase the welfare and prosperity of the people in a fair and equitable manner and to realize sustainable development” [25]. The word sustainability here will be a challenge for every country because there must be harmony between the economy, the environment, and society. The power plants used by Indonesia were previously dominated by fossil energy-based generators. However, after environmental issues have become a concern and global politics, renewable energy (RE) innovation is the hope to achieve this sustainable scheme. [3].
