Abstract


East Sumba Regency is an area with high solar radiation, which reaches 5.7 kWh/m² per day. Mapping of potential PLTS source areas is important to support the development of renewable energy in areas that are largely unreached by conventional energy infrastructure. This research aims to map the potential of PLTS in East Sumba Regency based on remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) which is expected to be a reference for regional development in East Sumba Regency. The methods used are classification, overlapping, scoring, and weighting of each parameter. The parameters used are land surface temperature, slope, distance from the road, and land cover. The results of the analysis show that potential PLTS source areas can be classified into five categories, namely very potential, potential, quite potential, not potential, and very not potential. Each class has a diverse area of 13% for very potential areas, 19% for potential areas, 41% for moderately potential areas, 18% for non-potential areas, and 9% for very non-potential areas. These results show that East Sumba Regency is quite potential as a source of solar power plants. In order to accelerate the national agenda in increasing the proportion of renewable energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels, it is hoped that this research can be a reference for the development of sustainable energy policies in the area.
