Research method used in this study uses literature study and observation of previous authors’ research.This will result in analysis of the application of society participation culturein the management of renewable energy towards energy independence supporting the strength of state defense through the implementation of the basic values of mutual assistance which includes: (1) development, the provision and utilization of jointly renewable energy sources by the community; (2) making the community as a pioneer and innovator who managed to facilitate other communities in providing energy independently and helped mobilize the growing populist economy supporting the country’s defense. Renewable energy management in society participation cultureis expected not only a normative appeal, but there must be a clear regulation of the active involvement of the community in supporting the achievement of 23% renewable energy mix by 2025. The need to optimize the strengthening of coordination, evaluation and ongoing supervision between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, The Ministry of Village, the Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration as well as the Ministry of Defense so that the development of society participation culture by society can create sustainable renewable energy management in the form of state defense.
