<![CDATA[Hydropower is a renewable energy source that has great potential in supporting the transition to a sustainable energy system, especially in Indonesia which has abundant water resources. This research aims to analyze the potential use of hydropower through a bibliometric approach with 2,151 Scopus publications analyzed using VOSviewer and RStudio (bibliometrix). The results show an increasing publication trend, indicating high global attention to hydropower. Co-occurrence analysis reveals close links with the energy system, renewable energy integration, and sustainability, confirming its role in maintaining energy stability. The thematic map shows that hydropower has a strategic position as a basic theme and driving force. Meanwhile, analysis of sources and authors shows the dominance of developed countries, especially China, which is correlated with research capacity. In developing national energy, Indonesia has great potential, but its utilization is not yet optimal due to limited research, technology and collaboration. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen research capacity, international cooperation, and an integrated energy system approach to support national energy security and sustainability.]]>
