The energy crisis that occurred in the UK can be a lesson for countries that have a dependence on fossil energy to make the transition to renewable energy. The crisis occurred due to the soaring price of fossil energy. The volatility of primary energy prices, namely fossil energy, is the common thread of the widespread energy crisis. Indonesia also needs to diversify its energy supply and improve efficiency

IDX Channel | The Global Energy Crisis Is Not A New Thing, Here’s The Reason

Katadata | Commodity Supercycle Hurricane Triggers World Energy Crisis

The current energy crisis is closely related to the high cost of fossil energy. Its existence is still important and much needed for power generation. The government must eliminate barriers to NRE development and create a safe investment climate

Antara | Jakarta’s “savings” for blue skies

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 shows that there is a potential for reducing carbon emissions from energy generation if it is transitioned to solar power.
