Planned Changes

 * 1) At most 4 sentences of a tidal power section + at least 2 sources
 * 2) Update data and move the current total energy capacity to the overview section + add supporting image
 * 3) 2 sentences + 1 citation for the hydropower section

Realized Changes

 * 1) 3 sentences of a tidal power section + 1 source
 * 2) Updated data and moved the current total energy capacity to the overview section. Source was updated to a more direct report thanks to another Wikipedia user.
 * 3) 2 sentences + 2 sources for hydropower section.

Tidal Power
With over 17,000 islands within its borders, Indonesia has great potential for tidal power development. The Alas Strait, a 50km stretch of ocean between Lombok and Sumbawa Island, alone could potentially yield as high as 640GWh of energy annually from tidal power. As of 2023, despite evidence of high energy potential, no Indonesian tidal power facilities have been developed.

Current Total Energy Capacity
In 2021, Indonesia had an electrical capacity of 74 gigawatts with a projected capacity of 76.3 for 2022.

Hydropower Additions
Indonesia has a potential of around 459.91 MW for micro hydropower developments, with only 4.54% of it being currently utilized by villages.

 * Research done on remote villages that utilize solar power in Indonesia are fully sustainable and should be expanded further


 * Would be a great addition to the solar power section

 * Reviews the benefits of micro hydropower developments for developing countries like Indonesia.
 * Would be used to add to the hydroelectricity section as an additional avenue for development.


 * An analysis of the Alas Strait in Indonesia shows a very high potential energy yield from tidal power development.
 * Would be used to start a tidal power section as requested
