Leaders in Jakarta have outlined a goal of reaching 23% renewable energy by 2025 – an ambitious step-up from the 13% renewable energy penetration in Indonesia’s 2019 primary energy mix. ‘Scaling Up Solar’ finds that the power sector could achieve this level of renewable energy generation by installing 18 GW of photovoltaic (PV) systems alone…

A study by the Institute for Essential Service Reform (IESR) revealed that the national solar program with a target of 18 gigawatts through the use of solar power plants (PLTS) will attract investors of up to US$14.4 billion. The report also states that the current cost of PV mini-grid electricity ranges from US$65-137 per MWh,…

Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) report entitled Indonesia's Clean Energy Status; The Potential, Installed Capacity, and the 2019 Renewable Energy Power Plant Development Plan show West Java to be the third province after West Kalimantan and Papua which has great potential for new and renewable energy (EBT).

IESR studies revealed that a national solar program with a target of 18GW using Solar PV could help Indonesia attract investment of up to USD 14.4 billion and achieve its goal of meeting the 23% renewable energy mix target by 2025. Founder of Bloomberg L.P. and Bloomberg Philanthropies Michael R. Bloomberg said that Indonesia is…

The Director of Electricity Business Development at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ida Nurhayatin Finahari, said that TOP is a scheme built by PLN and IPP and is a business relationship between the two parties, aka Business to Business (B to B). While Prof. Mukhtasor believes that the government must play a role…

Separately, the Executive Director of the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), Fabby Tumiwa said, the US in the Biden era set an ambitious CO2 emission reduction target of 50-52 percent reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 in all economic sectors. Read more Koran Jakarta

Pertamina CEO, Dannif Danusaputro, estimates that the energy transition will take place naturally, in which fossil energy will pay taxes through carbon tax and renewable energy will get incentives. Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Executive Director Fabby Tumiwa assessed that the proposed minimum carbon tax amount of Rp 75 per kg is still far…

Based on IESR 2018 data, although with a solar power potential of 2000 GW and the target of installing solar panels in PP No. 79 in 2014 is 6.5 GWp in 2025, Indonesia is still holding on to 0.15 GWp of installed Solar PV capacity. This means that Indonesia still has a long way to…

By 2050, coal’s share of the energy mix will fall to 38%, while new and renewable energy will go from 16% in 2019 to 43% in 2050. But it’s far from being ambitious, as 38% coal is still significant and not in line with the government’s goal to phase out coal completely by 2055, according…

A number of academics believe that the implementation of solar PV can encourage the fulfillment of the New Renewable Energy mix target of 23% by 2025. The results of the IESR study even show that 1 GWp from Rooftop Solar Power Plants can absorb up to 30 thousand workers in the green job sector. The…
