Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara maritim yang terbesar di dunia, memiliki garis
pantai sepanjang 81.000 km. Wilayah nusantara indonesia selain meliputi wilayah daratan, juga
memiliki wilayah perairan yang sangat luas. Indonesia memiliki sumber daya alam yang sangat
potensial dan prospektif berupa lahan yang luas dan subur, berbagai jenis kekayaan tambang,
sumberdaya kehutanan yang sangat luas terutama dalam hal kuantitasnya, sedangkan secara
pemanfaatan potensi tersebut pada umumnya masih sangat kurang, sehingga perlu adanya
peningkatan dalam pengembangan dan pemanfaatan potensi tersebut.
Daerah pesisir pantai mempunyai peranan yang penting dalam perekonomian
masyarakat dan pembangunan karena merupakan ruang yang menjembatani antara wilayah
daratan dan wilayah perairan. Kawasan pesisir memiliki kekayaan dan kebhinekaan
sumberdaya alam. Pesisir pantai dan habitat (hutan bakau, estuaria, daerah tambak, terumbu
karang, rumput laut, delta dan lainnya) merupakan daerah yang produktif secara biologi tetapi
mudah mengalami degradasi karena dampak ulah manusia atau karena peristiwa alamiah.
Sehingga peranan dan pemanfaatan kawasan pesisir sangatlah berpengaruh terhadap bidang
ekonomi dan budaya di daerah pesisir itu sendiri.
Emisi karbon setiap tahunnya terus meningkat, hal ini berdampak pada perubahan iklim
yang menjadi penyebab pemanasan global dan berdampak pada cuaca yang tidak konsisten,
terjadinya banjir, kelaparan, serta gangguan ekonomi. Meningkatnya emisi karbon salahsatunya
disebabkan oleh pembangkit lisrik dengan menggunakan bahan bakar fosil. Bahan bakar fosil
digolongkan pada energi yang tidak dapat diperbaharui, karena sumbernya berasal dari
makhluk hidup dan mikroorganisme yang hidup selama jutaan tahun silam dan terkubur di
dalam perut bumi, proses pembentukannya membutuhkan waktu yang sangat lama bahkan
mencapai jutaan tahun.
Listrik merupakan sumber energi yang digunakan dalam kegiatan sehari-hari, sebagai
penggerak mesin dan sebagainya. Namun perlu diingat bahwa listrik yang digunakan
membutuhkan pembangkit dengan menggunakan bahan bakar yang berdampak buruk bagi
kesehatan serta lingkungan. Pembangkit listrik berasal dari berbagai sumber tenaga, yaitu
tenaga air, sinar matahari, angin serta bahan bakar fosil seperti batubara, gas alam, atau minyak
bumi, dan lain sebagainya. Meskipun banyak negara di dunia mengurangi penggunaan batu
bara, Asia Tenggara, termasuk Indonesia, justru menaikkan konsumsi batu bara. Alasan
pemerintah Indonesia tetap menggunakan batu bara terlepas dari dampak negatifnya tidak lain
adalah karena biayanya yang relatif murah. Bahan bakar fosil (batubara) yang digunakan
Indonesia merupakan Negara kepulauan dengan jumlah pulau pada tahun 2018
mencapai 16. 056 pulau dengan 4.108 pulau berada di Provinsi Papua Barat. Pada tahun 2018
jumlah desa/ kelurahan yang ada di Indonesia sebanyak 83.931, 15, 32 % dari jumlah tersebut
berada di tepi laut. Jumlah penduduk Indonesia pada tahun 2018 sebanyak 265. 015 juta jiwa
dengan luas wilayah adalah 1. 916. 862, 20 km2. (BPS dalam Statistik Indonesia dalam
Infografis 2019). Indonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki luas wilayah terbesar di Asia
Tenggara dengan sistem pemerintahan Presidensial, yaitu Presiden adalah kepala negara
sekaligus kepala pemerintahan.
Pemanfaatan wilayah pesisir Indonesia untuk pengembangan ekonomi dan investasi,
haruslah mepertimbangkan dampak yang akan ditimbulkan, terutama dampak kesehatan dan
lingkungan. Manusia membutuhkan listrik untuk menunjang aktivitasnya sehari-hari,
kebutuhan listrik di Indonesia sampai saat ini masih dilayani oleh PLN yang sebagian besar
menggunakan bahan bakar fosil (batubara) sebagai pembangkit listrik.
Batubara adalah energi yang tidak terbarukan dan menimbulkan dampak buruk bagi
kesehatan serta lingkungan akibat emisi karbon yang ditimbulkannya. Aktivitas manusia yang
selalu menghasilkan sampah juga akan berdampak buruk terhadap lingkungan dan memicu
terjadinya banjir serta masalah lingkungan lainnya. Untuk itu perlu dibuat perencanaan
mengenai manajemen lingkungan agar tercapai pembangunan yang berkelanjutan.
Keberhasilan Negara Taiwan dalam menurunkan emisi karbonnya dengan
menggunakan energi yang terbarukan dipilih menjadi best practice dalam pengembangan
ekonomi dan investasi di wilayah pesisir Indonesia. Chen. Falin, et al (2010) mengungkapkan
Dari diagram diatas dapat dilihat bahwa Indonesia juga punya potensi besar untuk
mengembangkan energi terbarukan yaitu geothermal (energi panas bumi) dan Hydro (energi
air), tetapi potensi ini tidak di manfaatkan secara optimal oleh pemerintah Indonesia karena
biaya eksplorasi dan juga biaya modal pembangkit listrik dengan energi panas bumi dan energi
air lebih mahal dibandingkan pembangkit listrik yang menggunakan bahan bakar fosil.
Saat ini, Negara Taiwan sudah berhasil mengembangkan beberapa energi terbarukan
sebagai pembangkit listrik, yaitu:
1. Energi sinar matahari untuk perusahahaan-perusahaan dengan menggunakan PV
(Photovoltaics) atau panel surya yang mengubah sinar matahari menjadi listrik,
dipasang pada atap bangunan perusahaan dan rumah. Berikut ini adalah diagram
statistik area yang telah terpasang Photovoltaics di Negara Taiwan.
4. Energi panas bumi, tidak seperti energi matahari dan tenaga angin, penerapan energi
panas bumi tidak dipengaruhi oleh kondisi cuaca. Setelah cukup untuk pembangkit
listrik, sisa air panas dapat dimanfaatkan lebih lanjut untuk fungsi lain, seperti spa
rekreasi, kolam renang, sebagainya. Berikut ini adalah gambar pembangkit listrik
energi panas bumi/ geothermal.
5. Energi air, dengan bendungan air besar yang dioperasikan oleh Perusahaan Listrik
Negara Taiwan, tetapi sering menimbukan masalah ekologis dan lingkungan akibat
pembanguan bendungan besar. Berikut ini adalah gambar pembangkit listrik tenaga
air.
Sama dengan Negara Taiwan, Negara tetangga yaitu Cina atau Tiongkok juga mulai
menerapkan pembangkit listrik dengan menggunkan energi terbarukan dengan tujuan
mengurangi emisi karbon, hal ini didukung oleh pendapat Dong. Fugui, et al (2019),
Pemanfaatan energi terbarukan untuk pembangkit listrik dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk
pengurangan emisi yang akan menjadikan lingkungan yang lebih sehat. Transformasi energi
yang rendah karbon ini telah untuk menghasilkan listrik skala besar.
Namun, karena biaya yang mahal menyebabkan masih banyak negaracyang
menggunakan pembangkit listrik energi fosil. Karena alasan ini, negara-negara di dunia
membuat kebijakan untuk mendukung pembangkit listrik dengan menggunkan energi
terbarukan. Sesuai dengan "Pemberitahuan tentang Implementasi Standar Portofolio
Terbarukan" yang dikeluarkan oleh Administrasi Energi Nasional, Cina secara resmi
mengimplementasikan RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) pada 1 Januari 2019. Setelah
kebijakan RPS ditetapkan dan diimplementasikan di Cina untuk jangka waktu tertentu,
selanjutnya akan fokus pada mengukur perubahan dari dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh
pengembangan pembangkit listrik energi terbarukan.
Menurut Washburna. C., dan M. Pablo-Romero (2019), dengan tujuan mengurangi
peningkatan emisi, 195 negara di seluruh dunia membuat komitmen melalui perjanjian paris,
untuk mengurangi emisi dan menghindari peningkatan suhu lebih dari 2°C, negara-negara di
Amerika Latin sebagai negara yang ikut dalam perjanjian paris tersebut menyadari dibutuhkan
komitmen untuk mengurangi emisi karbon. Amerika Latin telah mengalami pertumbuhan yang
luar biasa untuk pembangkit listrik dengan energi yang terbarukan. Penggunaan pembangkit
listrik tenaga air mengalami penurunan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Namun, sejauh ini
pembangkit listrik tenaga air adalah energi terbarukan yang paling banyak digunakan di wilayah
tersebut, untuk penggunaan nenergi biomassa, angin, dan sinar matahari sebagai bahan bakar

Abstract: China officially implemented the renewable portfolio standard (RPS) on 1 January 2019,
and it remains uncertain as to whether this can effectively solve the problem of renewable energy
consumption in China and ease the pressure of government subsidies. In order to study the impact
of this policy on China’s renewable energy power generation and explore RPS policy that is more
suitable for the characteristics of China’s renewable energy, we first develop a revenue function
model based on the just released RPS policy to explore the effectiveness of the policy, the feasibility
conditions for successful implementation, and the problems that may be encountered during the
implementation process. Then, we propose policy recommendations based on the possible problems
of the current policy and design an “incremental electricity price” supplementary policy to improve
the possibility of successful implementation of the RPS policy. Finally, an evolutionary game model is
established to simulate and verify the possibility of successful implementation of the supplementary
policy. The main research results are: (1) the essence of the current RPS policy is the comprehensive
implementation policy of the RPS and feed-in-tariff (FiT); (2) because of the characteristics of China’s
energy structure, the implementation of this policy reform is more resistant; (3) the quantitative
research on the revenue function model shows that the current transaction price of the green certificate
market is very low, which is not conducive to alleviating the state’s subsidy pressure on renewable
energy power generation; and (4) analysis of empirical data shows that the successful implementation
of the “incremental electricity price” policy relies on the initial strategies of grid companies and users.
Keywords: renewable portfolio standard (RPS); evolutionary game; green certificates; consumption
of renewable energy; subsidies for renewable energy power generation
1. Introduction
renewable energy development support policies implemented in countries around the world at
present [6–8]. However, from the current problems encountered in China’s renewable energy power
generation, the FiT policy is no longer applicable to China [9,10]. As of the end of November 2018,
according to the “Notice on Implementation of the Renewable Portfolio Standard” issued by the
National Energy Administration, China will officially implement the RPS on 1 January 2019. Since the
RPS policy has just been implemented in China, it is impossible to determine whether it can solve the
problems encountered in the development of renewable energy power generation in China.
The purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of the policy, the feasibility of successful
implementation, and the problems that may be encountered during implementation. Then, based on
the above analysis, a policy more suitable for the development of China’s renewable energy power
generation is designed to improve the possibility of successful implementation of the RPS mechanism
in China.
relationship between FiT and RPS mechanisms. The RPS mechanism should be based on the problems
and characteristics of China’s renewable energy development [23].
In summary, the current application research on RPS and FiT in different countries has been
relatively mature, but the application effects of the two policies in different countries are different.
Therefore, based on the knowledge of RPS and the special needs of China’s renewable energy
development, it is of great significance to explore the application effect and possible problems of RPS
policy in China.

generation. On the contrary, for China, which has just begun to implement the RPS policy, the installed
capacity of renewable energy power generation can basically meet the current quota target. Therefore,
how to solve the problem of renewable energy consumption is the key issue to be considered by China
in implementing RPS.
Table 1. Application of wind power in some provinces, data sourced from [35].
pr = pb + ps, f (1)
where pr represents the FiT of renewable energy power generation; pb represents the benchmark FiT of
local desulfurized coal unit power generation; and ps,f represents the subsidized electricity price for
renewable energy power generation under the FiT policy.
Table 2. The feed-in tariff of wind power and photovoltaic, data sourced from [36].
On the one hand, the implementation of the RPS policy can directly reduce the government’s
subsidy pressure on renewable energy generation, while on the other hand, green certificate transactions
based on market functioning can not only promote the development of renewable energy, but also
Energies 2019, 12, 2147 6 of 23
avoid the problem of abandoned wind and light caused by power generation enterprises’ blind
development of renewable resources in pursuit of the benefits. The implementation of China’s RPS
policy should aim at promoting the consumption of renewable energy and alleviating the pressure on
government subsidies.
pr = pb + ps,r + p g (2)
where pg represents the average price of green certificates transactions; and ps,r is the average subsidized
electricity price for renewable energy power generation under the RPS policy.
From this, it can be concluded that the essence of the RPS to be implemented in China is actually a
comprehensive implementation plan of RPS and FiT, and the ratio of the support effect of RPS and FiT
on renewable energy power generation is pg :ps,r . This policy reform is moderate, and we believe that it
is caused by the following reasons:
(1) Under the FiT policy, China’s renewable energy installed capacity and generation capacity
have increased rapidly in recent years. The FiT still has a significant effect on improving renewable
energy power generation investment.
(2) At present, the cost of renewable energy power generation in China is still much higher than
that of fossil energy power generation. If the high cost of renewable energy power generation can only
Energies 2019, 12, 2147 7 of 23
be compensated for by selling green certificates, the profit of renewable energy power generation will
inevitably be affected, thus restricting the development of renewable energy in China to a certain extent.
(3) Although the RPS policy has been successfully applied to many countries in the world,
China’s renewable energy development has certain special characteristics, like renewable energy
consumption problems, government funding subsidy pressure, and an energy structure with a very
high proportion of fossil energy power generation. Whether the RPS policy can fully adapt to the
characteristics of China’s renewable energy development remains uncertain.
where πp represents the total revenue of power generation companies; Qf represents the fossil energy
power output, and for a pure renewable energy power generation company, its fossil energy power
output is 0; pf represents the average feed-in tariff of fossil energy power; Qr represents the renewable
energy power output, and for a pure fossil energy power generation company, its renewable energy
power output is 0; pr is the average feed-in tariff of renewable energy power and pr = pb + ps,r + p g ;
Cf,g and Cf,m represent the average unit power generation cost and average unit management cost of
fossil energy; and Cr,g and Cr,m represent the average unit power generation cost and average unit
management cost of renewable energy.
(2) Since this article explores the interest relationship between power generation companies,
power grid companies, and government departments from a macro perspective, green certificate
transactions between different grid companies are no longer considered. The power grid enterprises’
revenue function is:
h i
πn = (ps − pb )Qr + ps − p f Q f − Cn,m,r Qr − Cn,m, f Q f − Qr p g − Q f + Qr A − Qr pp (5)
where πn represents the total revenue of the power grid enterprises; ps is the average selling price
of the power grid enterprises to the consumers; Cn,m,r and Cn,m, f represent the average operation
and maintenance cost of a unit of renewable energy power transmission and fossil energy power
transmission; A is the renewable energy power generation quota target undertaken by the power
grid enterprises (0 ≤ A ≤ 1); pp is the average unit penalty price, and the penalty expense is
h i
Q f + Qr A − Qr pp ; and the expense of purchasing green certificates is Qr p g .
(3) The revenue function of government departments is:
h i
π g = Qr pe + Q f + Qr A − Qr pp − Qr ps,r (6)
where pe is the average environmental income obtained by the government for a unithof renewable

power generation, and the environmental benefit is Qr pe ; the penalty income is Q f + Qr A − Qr pp ;
and the subsidy expenditure is Qr ps,r .
2.2.3. Determination of the Conditions for Successful Implementation of Renewable Portfolio Standard
Policy effectiveness means that under this policy, power generation companies, power grid
enterprises, and government departments will jointly solve the problem of renewable energy
Energies 2019, 12, 2147 8 of 23
consumption and insufficient government subsidy funds through mutual cooperation in the perspective
of economic interests.
∂πp /∂Qr ≥ 0, ∂πn /∂Qr ≥ 0, and ∂π g /∂Qr ≥ 0 are the necessary conditions for promoting
the consumption of renewable energy by power generation companies, power grid companies,
and government departments, respectively, that is, the following conditions are established:
ps − pb − Cn,m,r − p g − pp (A − 1) ≥ 0 (8)
pe + pp (A − 1) − ps,r ≥ 0 (9)
Through the further processing of Equations (8) and (9), the necessary conditions for the green
certificate price, penalty price, and quota target to be feasible on the basis of the effectiveness of the
mechanism are obtained as follows:
where ps − pb − Cn,m,r represents the income of the power grid companies consuming a unit of renewable
energy power, and pe − ps, f is the government departments’ revenue from the consumption of per
unit of renewable energy power. This formula represents the internal principle that government
departments hope to promote power grid enterprises to actively absorb renewable energy through
renewable energy support policies due to their environmental protection obligations. It is a necessary
condition for the FiT policy to effectively promote the consumption of renewable energy, so the
effectiveness of the RPS mechanism is based on the effectiveness of the FiT policy.
(2) If the RPS mechanism can alleviate the subsidy pressure of renewable energy power generation,
there would be p g > 0, and Equation (10) must have the right end value greater than or equal to 0.
ps − pb − Cn,m,r + pp (1 − A) ≥ 0 (14)
where ps − pb − Cn,m,r ≥ 0 is the necessary condition for a grid company to actively promote renewable
energy consumption without renewable energy support policies. However, at the current level
of China’s renewable energy power generation technology, compared to fossil energy generation,
the instability of renewable energy generation will bring more safety risks to the power grid, resulting
in high costs of operation and maintenance of the power transmission process. In addition, the average
on-grid price of renewable energy is too high at present, and the consumption of renewable energy by the
power grid is almost entirely dependent on the relevant renewable energy support policies, which makes
this condition difficult to achieve. Therefore, in order to make Equation (14) exist, the penalty price
and quota targets should be set according to the renewable energy resource endowment, the technical
level of power generation, and the benchmark FiT of a local desulfurized coal unit of power generation
in the region where power grid enterprises are located. For power grid companies with high operating
and maintenance costs of renewable energy power transmission and high benchmark FiT values of a
local desulfurized coal unit of power generation, they should appropriately use higher penalty prices
or lower quota targets to restrain or motivate the behaviors of power grid companies to promote the
consumption of renewable energy and ease the pressure of government subsidies.
certificates is zero. On the one hand, this makes the RPS mechanism theoretically unable to alleviate
the pressure on government funding subsidies. On the other hand, if the green certificates price is zero,
the green certificates trading mechanism would lose its meaning of existence. Therefore, government
departments should set a lower limit on the price of green certificates to ensure the effectiveness of the
green certificates trading mechanism.
(2) The RPS policy is implemented to promote grid companies accepting more renewable energy
power by setting renewable energy consumption targets for grid companies, which requires power
plants giving up a certain amount of fossil energy power generation space to increase the proportion
of renewable energy power generation. At this stage, China’s main power generation method is
thermal power generation. Large-scale renewable energy power generation and connection to power
gird will inevitably change the power market structure mainly based on thermal power generation,
which would result in a large resistance of implementation. In this regard, the government should
introduce more flexible policy mechanism to regulate and guide the active cooperation of stakeholders
in the RPS mechanism, so as to realize the policy transformation from FiT to RPS.
(3) On one hand, under the current renewable energy power generation technology level,
power grid enterprises are faced with the safe operation risk brought by the high proportion of
renewable energy power access to the power grid. On the other hand, due to the obvious regional
differences in China’s renewable energy resource endowment and renewable energy development,
some power grid enterprises in China have reached a saturated state for absorbing renewable
energy power, while some regional power grid enterprises still have a large renewable energy power
consumption space. Therefore, under the current stage, the state should adjust and adopt a new strategic
plan for renewable energy development with more regional characteristics to achieve coordinated
development of renewable energy power generation in China.

where:
Cn is the average unit cost of the grid enterprises, including the cost of purchasing electricity, the cost
of maintenance and management in the process of power transmission, and the cost of purchasing
green certificates due to undertaking the quotas and the cost of fines due to uncompleted quotas.
CTGC is the fixed cost of the green certificate transaction between power grid companies and users
due to information asymmetry, and it is jointly undertaken by the grid enterprises and the users, and its
commitment ratio is β1 : β2 (β1 + β2 = 1, 0 < β1 , β2 < 1) [28].
p1 is the average revenue from the user’s unit of electricity consumption.
(2) When grid enterprises choose to adopt and users choose not to participate in this policy,
the revenue of the grid enterprises is f 2 , and the revenue of the users is π2 , as follows:
f2 = ps,0 Q0 + kQ g − Cn Q0 + kQ g − β1 CTGC (19)
π2 = p1 Q0 + kQ g − ps,0 Q0 + kQ g (20)

(3) When grid enterprises choose not to adopt and users choose to participate in this policy,
the revenue of the grid enterprises is f 3 , and the revenue of the users is π3 , as follows:
f3 = ps,0 Q0 + kQ g − Cn Q0 + kQ g (21)
π3 = p1 Q0 + kQ g − ps,0 Q0 + kQ g − β2 CTGC (22)
(4) When grid enterprises choose not to adopt and users choose not to participate in this policy,
the revenue of the grid enterprises is f 4 , and the revenue of the users is π4 , as follows:
f4 = ps,0 Q0 + kQ g − Cn Q0 + kQ g (23)
π4 = p1 Q0 + kQ g − ps,0 Q0 + kQ g (24)
The payoff matrix of the power grid companies and the users under different strategy combinations
is showed in Table 3.

The average fitness for users to participate and not participate is U1 and U2 , respectively, and the
average fitness of the population is U, as follows:
Therefore, the replicator dynamic equation representing that the grid enterprises choose to adopt
this policy is:
dx
F(x) = = x W1 − W = x(1 − x)[ y( f1 − f2 − f3 + f4 ) + ( f2 − f4 )] (31)
dt
Energies 2019, 12, 2147 14 of 23
Similarly, the replicator dynamic equation that the users choose to participate in the policy can be
obtained as follows:
dy
G( y) = = y U1 − U = y(1 − y)[x(π1 − π2 − π3 + π4 ) + (π3 − π4 )] (32)
dt
When the growth rate of individuals using a certain strategy is 0, F(x0 ) = 0, G( y0 ) = 0, the state
is likely to become stable. Here, we can obtain four solutions: x1 = 0, x2 = 1, y1 = 0, y2 = 1. There are
four points, (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1), that may become an evolutionary stable strategy (ESS).
F0 (0) = y( f1 − f2 ) + ( f2 − f4 )
F0 (1) = −y( f1 − f2 ) − ( f2 − f4 )
(33)
G0 (0) = x(π1 − π3 ) + (π3 − π4 )
G0 (1) = −x(π1 − π3 ) − (π3 − π4 )
By analyzing the players’ payoff functions, it is easy to get the following relationship:
In order to comprehensively explore the stability of the above four points and the evolution of the
system state in different situations, we analyzed it in four cases: (1) f1 > f3 , π1 > π4 ; (2) f1 > f3 , π1 < π4 ;
(3) f1 < f3 , π1 > π4 ; and (4) f1 < f3 , π1 < π4 .
Case 1: f1 > f3 , π1 > π4 , that is, f1 > f3 = f4 > f2 and π1 > π2 = π4 > π3 .

As shown in Figures 3 and 5, in this case, points (0,0) and (1,1) are both ESS. The final
evolutionary stable state of the system depends on the initial strategies of the players. When the
initial strategy of the players is in regional OADCO, see Figure 3, with the evolution process, the
power grid enterprises choosing not to adopt and the users choosing not to participate in the policy
will become the final evolution result. When the initial strategy of the player is in the regional

grid companies in the area under their jurisdiction are willing to adopt this policy, the implementation
of this policy can effectively improve the possibility of successful implementation of the policy.
The “incremental electricity price” policy proposed in this paper is a supplementary policy
mechanism aiming to resolve the problems the RPS policy may face at the present stage. On the one
hand, its successful implementation (the evolutionary stability strategy is (1.1)) can further improve the
RPS policy, so that RPS can fully play its role in solving the problems faced by China’s renewable energy
development. On the other hand, if the policy fails, the evolutionary stability strategy is (0.0), which will
not affect the implementation of the original RPS policy. In general, the introduction of “incremental
electricity price” policy can effectively increase the possibility of successfully implementation of the
RPS mechanism in China.
4. Conclusions
Taking the RPS policy as the research object, this paper explored the effectiveness, feasibility
conditions, and possible problems of the RPS policy in promoting renewable energy consumption and
alleviating the government’s pressure on renewable energy power generation subsidies by establishing
a revenue function model. Then, aiming at resolving the possible problems in the implementation of
the RPS policy, specific suggestions and an improvement scheme were proposed, and the possibility
of implementing the improved scheme was verified by establishing an evolutionary game model.
The specific research findings are as follows:
(1) The RPS mechanism in China is essentially a comprehensive implementation policy of FiT
and RPS, and whether the new RPS mechanism is effective depends on whether the original FiT can
effectively promote the development of renewable energy; that is, the original FiT policy can effectively
promote the development of renewable energy and is the basic condition for the effectiveness of the
RPS policy.
(2) Under the current RPS policy, there will be a phenomenon that the price of green certificates
is too low, which may result in the RPS mechanism being ineffective in alleviating the pressure on
government funding subsidies. Therefore, energy authorities should set a lower limit on the price of a
green certificate transaction.
(3) Due to the characteristics of China’s energy structure, the implementation of the reform plan
from FiT to RPS is facing great resistance. Based on this, the “incremental electricity price” policy
proposed by this article from the demand side can improve the possibility of successful implementation
of the RPS mechanism in China.
Although this paper has obtained some very meaningful conclusions through the study of China’s
RPS policy, there are still limits.
(1) Use of the income function model to explore the validity, feasibility conditions, and possible
problems of the RPS policy avoids the shortcomings of insufficient theoretical support of subjective
research due to a lack of data. However, the best way to study the impact of policy reforms on
renewable energy development is through the use of empirical data. After the RPS policy has been
implemented in China for a period of time, our future study will focus on quantifying the impact of
policy changes on the development of renewable energy power generation.
(2) We put forward policy recommendations for the problems that may be encountered in the RPS
policy and designed the “incremental electricity price” supplementary policy to increase the possibility
of successful implementation of RPS in China. However, as mentioned in the article, the setting of the
green certificate lower limit price needs to consider many factors, which makes it difficult to set an
appropriate value. In addition, in recent years, with the rapid development of the energy internet in
China, implementation of the “incremental electricity price” policy based on the characteristics of users’
electricity usage has become possible. However, as stated in the article, the successful implementation
of this policy can only occur under certain conditions, relying on the government’s early promotion of
the policy and the intention of grid companies and users to adopt the policy.

Keywords: This study analyses the measures used to promote renewable energy for electricity generation in the 18 Latin
Latin America American countries that signed the Paris Agreement, in an electricity demand growth context. The Latin
Renewable energy American countries have had a remarkable growth in the use of renewable energy for electricity generation.
Electricity generation Biomass, wind and solar energy have experienced strong growth, however, their participation in the energy mix
Promotion measures
remains small. All the studied countries have established renewable energy targets, 16 having adopted at least
one promotion measure. The most used measures are tax incentives, mainly through exemptions in income tax,
value added or sales tax and on tariffs. Also, most countries are using auction systems, which are replacing the
Feed-In Tariff system. The net metering system adoption is also growing in the region. The results of the study
show a positive relationship between the most active countries in renewable energy promotion and the per-
formance achieved in the studied years. Therefore active policies are considered necessary for the future de-
velopment of renewable energies.

average consumption of electricity per capita worldwide was
2.77 MWh, in the period 2006–2010, and 3 MWh in the subsequent five
years, the growth rate being 8.30%. In the LA region, the per capita
electricity consumption was 1.63 MWh and 1.88 MWh, in the first and
second periods, respectively, the growth rate being equal to 15.40%.
Thus, although the Latin American region had lower per capita con-
sumption than the global level, the percentage increase between the
periods was almost double that recorded worldwide. It should also be
noted that, according to KPMG (2016), the demand for electricity in the
region will grow by 91% in 2040, due to industrialization and the
improvement of the middle class. Table 2 also shows that the LA

ABSTRACT
One of the problems in some developing countries such as Indonesia is the growth of
population and the large number of people on high productivity who are not proportional to
the amount of labor absorption, while on the other hand the needs of life always increasing
time after time. The problem pursing the question of how people can get their needs but not
depend on the amount of absorption of labor and how people can create their own businesses
could even create jobs for other people.
Increasing of entrepreneur activity lead on the exploitation of existing resources and the
exploitation is likely damage the existing ecology. Thus there is a discrepancy between
entrepreneur activity and concept of sustainable development. That’s way we need a concept
that can bridge a gap between the entrepreneur activity with the concept of sustainable
development.
This is a conceptual paper that based on a literature review and assessment of secondary
data. And this paper is expected to recommend a concept of ecopreneurship and can form an
understanding that a entrepreneur activity should also pay attention to aspects of
sustainability both in terms of ecological, economic and social.
PENDAHULUAN
KAJIAN AKADEMIS
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship atau dalam bahasa Indonesia diterjemahkan dengan kata
kewirausahaan, menurut Hisrich et al (2008) mendefiniskan kewirausahaan sebagai proses
penciptaan sesuatu yang baru, menggunakan waktu dan upaya yang diperlukan, berani
menanggung risiko baik keuangan, fisik, serta risiko sosial yang mengiring imbalan yang
diterima. Hal serupa dinyatakan oleh Sri Edi Swasono (1978) dalam Suryana (2003) bahwa
Wirausaha adalah pelopor dalam bisnis, inovator, penanggung risiko, yang mempunyai visi ke
depan, dan memiliki keunggulan dalam berprestasi di bidang usaha.
Dan lebih rinci Frederick (2006) dalam Wijatno (2009) mengatakan ada 17
karakteristik yang melekat pada diri enterpreneur yaitu: (1) komitmen, (2) dorongan kuat
untuk berprestasi, (3) berorientasi pada kesempatan dan tujuan, (4) inisiatif dan tanggung
jawab, (5) pengambilan keputusan, (6) mencari umpan balik, (7) internal focus control, (8)
toleransi terhadap ambiguitas, (9) pengambilan risiko yang terkalkulasi, (10) integritas dan
reliabilitas, (11) toleransi terhadap kegagalan, (12) energi tingkat tinggi, (13) kreatif dan
inovatif, (14) visi, (15) independen, (16) percaya diri dan optimis, (17) membangun tim.
Dengan demikian secara umum wirausaha atau orang yang memiliki jiwa wirausaha
adalah orang yang berani membuka sebuah peluang usaha yang mandiri serta mempunyi
kemampuan yang baik dalam menciptakan dan mengolah peluang yang ada. Perkembangan
dunia wirausaha dapat menghantarkan Indonesia menjadi sebuah negara yang maju. Karena
peningkatan jumlah wirausaha dapat memperkecil jumlah penggangguran melalui serapan
tenaga kerja yang dihasilkannya. Selain itu meningkatnya jumlah wirausaha akan
meningkatkan perekonomian lokal yang diikuti dengan meningkatnya perekonomian secara
makro.

Konsep Ecopreneurship
Merujuk pada keprihatinan terhadap perkembangan kewirausahaan di Indonesia yang
di warnai dengan kecurangan dan hanya memikikiran profit semata, maka diperlukan sebuah
konsep enterprenuer yang menekankan kepada tanggungjawab untuk turut melestarikan
keberlanjutan manusia secara umum dengan menggunakan bahan – bahan dasar produksi yang
layak dan distribusi produk yang baik, keberlanjutan ekologi dengan memperhatikan aspek
kelestarian lingkungan dalam proses produksinya serta menggunakan bahan – bahan ramah
lingkungan serta keberlanjutan ekonomi dengan memberdayakan masyarakat sekitar sehingga
kegiatan usaha yang dijalankan dapat ikut meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat sekitar
dan dapat membantu pemerintah dalam hal penyerapan tenaga kerja.
