Abstract

National energy development constitutes a strategic instrument of the state to achieve energy security and sustainable development. However, in practice, energy projects are often developed in areas that socially and historically constitute the living space of indigenous peoples. This situation becomes problematic when energy governance has not yet provided adequate mechanisms for protecting the rights of indigenous peoples. The absence of such protection mechanisms has the potential to trigger social conflicts, ecological degradation, and violations of the constitutional rights of indigenous peoples. This article aims to analyze the absence of protection mechanisms for indigenous peoples within national energy governance and its constitutional implications from the perspective of economic constitution. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and constitutional approaches. Legal materials were collected through library research consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources, and were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method and deductive reasoning to identify normative gaps within the existing regulatory framework. The results show that national energy governance has not explicitly accommodated the recognition of customary land rights, meaningful participation, and the implementation of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) principle for indigenous peoples. This normative gap is inconsistent with constitutional principles that recognize and respect the existence of indigenous peoples and mandate that the management of natural resources be directed toward the greatest prosperity of the people. Therefore, strengthening rights-based energy governance is necessary through the integration of explicit protection mechanisms for indigenous peoples within the national energy legal framework.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between the operation of old oil wells, as governed by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 1 of 2008, and the improvement of community welfare, particularly for communities surrounding mining areas. The regulation aims to empower communities by enabling their participation in oil well operations through Village Unit Cooperatives (KUD) and Regionally Owned Business Entities (BUMD). Employing a socio-legal approach, this study conceptualizes law as a functional social institution and investigates its application in three sub-districts in Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province. The findings reveal that the regulation is ineffective due to its complex permit requirements, which are perceived as a significant obstacle by local communities, thereby impeding its objectives. Moreover, the regulation lacks explicit legal provisions to address community welfare by exploiting old oil wells. To address these shortcomings, the study recommends revising the regulation to simplify licensing procedures and include explicit provisions that promote community welfare. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for policy instruments, such as legal assistance, mentoring, technical and non-technical guidance, and continuous supervision, to support community-led mining activities. These measures are essential to ensure that the operation of old oil wells contributes meaningfully to the welfare of local communities, aligning with the regulation's intended goals.
