The potential of utilizing solar power plants in the city of gorontalo in supporting a green city

Gorontalo Province is developing and utilizing new and renewable energy to support a green city due to the increasing demand for electricity, which exceeds the available supply of existing electric energy. Power outages still occur frequently and are a sign that the existing electricity supply, which is interconnected with the Minahasa system and the existing Gorontalo system, is no longer able to meet the electricity needs of the community and the industry. This demand will only continue to increase, which calls for greater development in the field of renewable energy. Therefore, in the development of new renewable energy, an analysis of electricity, in terms of the economy and the environment is necessary as the dynamics of the development process will have an impact on society, both positive and negative. Based on this background, this study will examine how the construction of an electric power plant utilizing new renewable energy will impact the people in Gorontalo Province. From monitoring of Thursday, September 26, 2019, we obtained data on the ultraviolet index, 3.5 (moderate), and wind speed: moderate breeze, southeast: 4-11 km / h, moderate wind, southeast: 18-25 km / h and moderate wind, south-east: 18-25 km / h. Based on predicted irradiation, the sun in Gorontalo City will intensify until 2022 with UV values: 51.1%.
