Blowing the Wind Energy in Indonesia

Wind power generation is no longer a new issue in the world. However, the market in Indonesia is remaining un-developed. Barriers had been identified. One of the main constraints is the low of confident level on the wind availability itself. So many researches had been conducted, however up to present the installed capacity of wind power generation is only around 1.6 MW out of 9.29GW total capacity predicted. Hence, an intensive promotional program should be conducted to promote wind power generation as an alternative for a more sustainable energy. Commitment is all what it takes to save the future's energy. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
