IIEE also runs programs to help government officials understand energy issues by holding training sessions and discussion forums.

Studies on Renewable Energy Development Policy

Over the past five years, a lot of time at IIEE has been spent studying renewable energy development and the respective implementation process. Most recently, a review of the policies was written as well as a regulatory framwork for the Indonesia Clean Energy Development (ICED) program of USAID. There was also a study done about possible on-grid biomass as a power supply for electricity projects in the renewable energy sector.
