Summary

Energy consumption could be less, but the needs of consuming energy will always exist. Renewable energy is needed to support the supply of energy resources. The enhancement of energy supply is obliged to support the national energy security and resilience. Renewable energy is a potential sector that could be enhanced to support this measure. Inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) could contribute as tools to promote technology transfer. Destination countries especially from developing countries that have less experience in renewable energy technologies are looking forward to technology transfer from source countries which mostly come from developed countries. Destination countries, including Indonesia, should take some efforts to attract inward investment. These countries should define their position in renewable energy sector by knowing the characteristics of FDI on Renewable Energy (RE) at the global level and find factors that influence enterprises to locate their business in order to improve their competitiveness on attracting inward FDI on RE. These factors could become guidelines of policies to support improvement on inward FDI on RE and in the end it could also promote improvement on renewable energy sector as well. Therefore, there are 3 (three) objectives of this research, namely identification of FD
