Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Licensing Standards: Permen ESDM 7/2026

This article describes the standards for the new, renewable energy and energy-conservation (EBTKE) subsector in Peraturan Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Nomor 7 Tahun 2026 tentang Standar Kegiatan Usaha pada Penyelenggaraan Perizinan Berusaha Berbasis Risiko Sektor Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral. It is part of a series; for the framework, the licence categories (PB and PB UMKU), and the transitional rules, see the overview of Permen ESDM 7/2026.

The EBTKE business-activity standards appear in Lampiran I (core licences, PB) and Lampiran II (supporting licences, PB UMKU).

Lampiran I sets standards for the principal EBTKE activities, including:

• Izin Pengusahaan Panas Bumi — geothermal undertaking licence, KBLI 06202 (geothermal mining).
• Izin Usaha Bahan Bakar Nabati — biofuel business licence.
• Izin Usaha Bahan Bakar Biogas — biogas-fuel business licence.
• Izin Usaha Pengelolaan Sampah / PSEL — waste-to-energy licences, covering the processing of waste into electricity (Pengolahan Sampah menjadi Energi Listrik), KBLI 35129, 35203, and 38211 (waste collection and treatment).

The associated KBLI codes include 06202, 20115, 35129, 35203, and 38211.

Supporting licences (PB UMKU)

Lampiran II sets standards for supporting EBTKE activities, including:

• Registrasi Usaha Penunjang Panas Bumi — geothermal support-business registration.
• Persetujuan Gudang Bahan Peledak — explosives-magazine approval.
• Sertifikat Laik Operasi Pengusahaan — fit-to-operate certificate for the undertaking.

The basic-requirement obligation for spatial-use suitability is waived for the survey and exploration stage in the EBTKE subsector (Article 3(6)).

Sanctions

Administrative sanctions for EBTKE breaches are set out in Article 10 and are differentiated by activity:

• Geothermal for indirect use — sanctions follow the geothermal-specific legislation.
• Geothermal for direct use — written warning, temporary cessation of the direct-use undertaking, and/or revocation of the PB UMKU.
• Biofuel and biogas — written warning, temporary cessation of the biofuel and/or biogas activity, administrative fines, and/or revocation of the PB.
