Abstract

Indonesia, which is part of the Paris agreement, is committed to a successful global energy agenda by targeting a low energy source of carbon emissions, green and efficient by 2060. However, the conversion of fossil energy sources to a full renewable energy source, hampered by challenges. Among them are policy, technical, finance, technology, environment and ecosystems. Ecosystem challenges are at a time when the competency of renewable energy workers is low and a lack of public awareness of renewable energy potential. The research article focused on the role of technical and vocational education in raising awareness of renewable energy sources. The method used was literature review and content analysis. It is concluded that (1) awareness, support and participation public is important if Indonesia wants to accelerate the achieving of transition and decarbonization of energy, (2) technical and vocational education can participate in increasing public awareness of renewable energy by improving energy literacy of student, teacher and pre-service teacher.
