This study examines the extent to which West Java Province has achieved Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 on clean and affordable energy in the electricity sector. The study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to evaluate policies and achievements in terms of energy access, renewable energy use, energy efficiency, and the dynamics of cooperation between government agencies. The results show that the electrification rate in West Java has almost reached 100% thanks to government policies such as the free electricity program for underprivileged communities. However, the share of renewable energy in the province was still around 15% in 2022, which has not yet reached the target of 17% by 2025. Furthermore, energy efficiency is also an important issue because primary energy consumption in West Java increased in 2022. This study emphasizes the need to enhance inter-agency cooperation, innovation in local policies, and political commitment to achieve SDG 7 targets in line with national directives.

The informal trading of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game accounts through social networking platforms has expanded rapidly alongside the acceleration of digital technology and the growing integration of online gaming into contemporary lifestyles, particularly among younger demographics. Game accounts characterized by high competitive rankings, exclusive virtual assets, and accumulated in-game achievements have increasingly been commodified and exchanged through social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, predominantly utilizing electronic payment instruments, including digital wallets. Despite its widespread practice, this form of transaction frequently generates legal complications, most notably in relation to consumer protection. Buyers are often exposed to substantial risks, including fraudulent representations, discrepancies between promised and actual account specifications, unauthorized resale, and the revocation of account access after payment completion. This study seeks to critically examine the legal framework governing the trading of Mobile Legends accounts and to assess the extent to which consumer protection mechanisms are afforded under Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. Employing a normative juridical research design, this study applies statutory and conceptual approaches supported by the analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings indicate that consumer protection within online game account transactions remains structurally insufficient, primarily due to the absence of explicit legal recognition of digital game accounts as legally protected objects. Consequently, the study underscores the necessity of adopting progressive legal interpretation and formulating specific regulatory instruments to enhance legal certainty and ensure more effective consumer protection within the evolving landscape of digital transactions.
