One of the Indonesian goals is to reach 23% of renewable energy share in 2025. It is mentioned in the national energy general (RUEN) that Indonesia has the potential for renewable energy about 443.208MW. However, only about 2% has been utilized. These are caused by several reasons such as lack of land, high investment costs, and lack of information or research in their field. As the capital city of Indonesia, the provincial government of DKI Jakarta is certainly in the spotlight regarding climate change and pollution. Efforts were also made to reduce emissions. For example, the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) policy began to be implemented in Kota Tua starting in February 2021. This is one of the efforts to reduce emissions in the cultural heritage area of the old city and make the area cleaner. For this reason, this initial research is expected to help the development of science, especially floating photovoltaic in the water surface area which is not large enough. With the existence of floating photovoltaic, the DKI Provincial Government and PT. KAI can participate in utilizing new renewable energy. In addition, floating photovoltaic can also be an attraction. and can also be an education for the community, especially for tourists visiting the Kota Tua which is one of the tourist attractions in Jakarta. The result shows that the Kota Tua river potential is about 8.4MW which spread in rivers along the Kota Tua area.
