**4. Findings**

The FGD began with an introductory opening by the moderator, who introduced the participants and laid out the overall theme of the discussion. Each of the participants was then given the time and the opportunity to share their recounts and outlooks on the renewable energy in Indonesia, including the challenges associated with renewable energy development in Indonesia, and the propositions for moving forwards and overcoming these challenges.

Following the discussion, all the participants proceeded to analyse each type of renewable energy in Indonesia, specifically wind, solar, ocean, biomass, hydropower, and geothermal. Using multiple secondary information and research documents as a basis of the analysis, the group then appraise these energy sources in terms of their potentials, current development, limitations, and opportunities for development. The main objective

was to map out the progress of each type of renewable energy development. Unlike the previous session, in this session, every participant was encouraged to voluntarily give their opinion and constructively rebut each other in an open discussion. The outcome of both sessions will be used to pave the way forward to deciding the most suitable and feasible renewable energy type for further development in Indonesia.
