50 percent of air pollution in DKI Jakarta is contributed by the transportation sector, 30 percent from power plants and the rest is waste. DKI Jakarta has a potential source of electrical energy that relies on solar power, which is estimated to reach 6.8 to 22.9 GWh based on the IESR study in 2020. This…

The technical potential of solar energy in Central Java reaches 193-670 GWp with the potential for solar around 285-959 TWh per year. This has become an attraction for the commercial and industrial sectors to install solar power plants. The government has also tried to accommodate the need for rooftop PV mini-grid installations with several strategies…

As of August 2021, there have been 4,133 users of solar power plants (PLTS) and based on this data, the largest PLTS are in West Java (9 MWp), Jakarta (6.99 MWp), Central Java and DIY (5.88 MWp). The government has also done accommodations by lowering the parallel capacity cost for industrial customers Read more iNews

The addition of electricity capacity in the RUPTL for NRE only reaches 10.6 GW, of which 14 GW is required to achieve the 2025 carbon neutral target. The determination of the NRE portion of 51.6% seems still insufficient to achieve carbon neutrality and needs to be accompanied by steps from the electricity sector which uses…

The government has facilitated a clause to reduce parallel capacity costs for industrial customers from 40 hours to five hours per month. In the future, the economy will grow in a greener direction, supported by a green industry. Fabby Tumiwa said the industrial and commercial sectors must have an energy transition roadmap to achieve decarbonization…

The IESR market survey shows that there is a potential of 9.8 percent or 16 thousand businesses in Central Java to utilize rooftop solar power. The total installed PLST capacity in Central Java until August 2021 reaches 8.8 Mega Watt peak (MWp). In realizing decarbonization, it is important for industry and commercial to have an…

The Indonesian Mining & Energy Forum (IMEF) assesses that the moratorium on the construction of the New PLTU has no impact on coal miners, where the demand for coal from the PLTU until 2030 is still quite high at around 157 million tons per year. However, considering that the coal mining industry is still supported…

IESR welcomes the RUPTL that has been prepared by the government. On the other hand, IESR believes that the value of NRE can be increased, especially for PV mini-grid. PLTS has a potential of 3.4 - 20 TWp and can be built quickly, especially rooftop PV and floating PV to achieve the decarbonization target. In…

In implementing the carbon tax, Indonesia is considered a relatively slow country. Some things that need to be considered again in its implementation are the appropriate mechanism, the price of carbon taxes for carbon trading, implementation and estimation of carbon emission reductions from the implementation of the instrument.

The energy transition is an opportunity for economic transformation. The key to a successful energy transition can be found by developing a good roadmap as a reference. Supporting regulations, legal certainty and clean energy investments will be critical to achieving the goal of being carbon neutral Read more Bisnis

Executive Director of the Indonesian Coal Entrepreneurs Association, Hendra Sinadia, said that the carbon tax policy needs to be reconsidered because coal prices are currently fluctuating. According to Fabby, with these challenges, the energy transition becomes an opportunity for economic transformation Read more Bisnis
