Abstract

The use of non-renewable energy in the Tomini Bay region of Gorontalo is high. At the same time, Indonesia's non-renewable energy reserves are dwindling. A breakthrough in energy planning is needed to meet regional energy needs in a sustainable manner. The purpose of this study is to determine energy demand and availability based on regional per capita growth in the present and future. The research method used was the observational method and energy modeling of the Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP). The results showed that energy demand in Tomini Bay, Gorontalo has increased significantly. In 2050, the energy demand will be 1,425 MWh. The balance between energy demand and availability will be achieved by diversifying energy towards renewable energy and developing energy from natural resources (river energy). The energy value that can be obtained in 2050 is 1489.57 MWh. Good energy management planning can achieve energy balance.
