Is Indonesia a good source of energy?

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing energy consumers. While natural gas and oil production have been falling over the past decade, coal production has risen to satisfy both domestic and export demand. Renewable energy has seen steady growth, with an energy transition plan unveiled in 2022 and a green energy investment fund

Will Indonesia's energy transition be a good idea?

Evidence suggests that Indonesia’s energy transition should be well under way. The government has set a target to support renewable energy development in the New Energy and Renewable Energy Bill through increasing on-grid renewable capacity, converting diesel power generation to solar and expanding rooftop solar.

Will Indonesia see a boom in renewables?

Indonesia has not yet seen a boom in renewables, resulting in fossil fuels meeting its electricity demand growth. The National Energy Policy (NEP) 2014 set a target of 23% of renewables in the energy mix by 2025, however, this target is likely to be reduced to between 17-19% in the revised NEP currently being developed.

Can Indonesia achieve net-zero energy ambitions?

As a result, Indonesia’s climate commitments in the energy sector may progress slower than previously anticipated. However, the longer the country remains dependent on fossil fuels, the more difficult it will be for its leaders to meet the net-zero ambitions. Evidence suggests that Indonesia’s energy transition should be well under way.

Will Indonesia be a 'just' country for solar PV?

Around 2,300 square kilometres of licensed mining area in Indonesia is disturbed land, which could host around 0.5 TW of solar PV capacity. These provinces are laboratories for fossil fuels phase-out, and shape how “just” and inclusive the transition will be.
