North Aceh Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Aceh Utara) is a regency in Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sumatra. The regency covers a land area of 2,705.26 square kilometres and had a population of 534,085 at the 2010 census[2] and 602,793 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as of mid 2024 was 641,007.[1]

The administrative centre is now at the town of Lhoksukon; this followed the splitting off of the western districts from the regency to form (by Law No. 48 of 1999) a separate Bireuen Regency on 4 October 1999, and then the creation (by Law No. 2 of 2001) of the independent city of Lhokseumawe out of what was formerly the capital, which was cut out of the regency on 21 June 2001.

Economy

[edit]

This regency is included in one of the largest industrial regions outside Java, especially with the opening of liquid gas processing industry plants based on PT Arun LNG in Lhokseumawe, 1974. There were several large factories nearby at the time: PT.Kertas Kraft Aceh, pabrik Pupuk AAF (Aceh Asean Fertilizer) and pabrik Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM).[4] The Port of Krueng Geukueh is located in the regency.[5]

In the agricultural sector, the regency has a good reputation as an important rice producer. The whole North Aceh Regency has the greatest potential of any region in Aceh and its income per capita is above Rp 1.4 million (without oil and natural gas) or Rp 6 million (with oil and natural gas).[6]

Gas and petroleum fields were found in Lhokseumawe, North Aceh's former capital city around the 1970s. Then, many investors interested in its natural resources came to Aceh. Since then, liquefied natural gas (LNG) processed in refinery of PT. Arun Natural Gas Liquefaction (NGL) Co, coming from the installation of PT. ExxonMobil Oil Indonesia (EMOI) in Lhokseumawe industrial zone (now : Arun Lhokseumawe Special Economic Zone), had changed this regency to modern petrochemistry industrial region.[7]

There are 2 sectors dominating economical activity in North Aceh, i.e. mining and excavating, and processing industrial sector. In mining sector, the gas wells processed by PT. EMOI surely become one of this sector's pioneering factor.[8]

Religion

[edit]

North Aceh's inhabitants are predominantly Muslim. Minorities have the freedom to worship according to their respective religions.
