Climate change and energy issues for saving, consumption, and renewability suffer from illiteracy and ignorance. In the patriarchal society like Indonesia, women performed vital roles in the households. Women can play strategic roles as agents of change i.e. transformation of energy sectors and decision makings. Indonesian Directorate General of Mineral and Coal launched regulation 26/2021 stated that household sector is the main consumer targets for solar energy plant using grid connected. The facts showed middle-high income’s households unlikely install solar panel. Electricity motorcycles and cars do not mean so much when the batteries must be charged with non-renewable sources. Meanwhile, the heat in Pekanbaru is abundance and has potential for solar energy. The research will elaborate perception of 20 educated person and 10 career women on how their energy consumption and the possibility of solar panel usage in their houses using in-depth interviews. The research showed women in Pekanbaru spent at least a half million even two million rupiah per month, especially for air conditioning and hot water. The lack of knowledge of solar energy and solar plant installation led to women roles indecisive.
