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.

The Maluku and North Maluku regions have a fairly high potential for new and renewable energy, which is 738 gigawatts, which comes from solar energy, water, wind, and biomass where the technical potential of solar energy in Maluku and North Maluku is 721 gigawatts (GW), water energy 1, 5 GW, and 75 megawatts of biomass.…

PLN negotiates Commercial Operation Date (COD) 34 with Independent Power Producer (IPP). According to Fabby, Executive Director of IESR, PLN needs to set firm limits regarding financial closing, at least in the middle of next year. Each generator must increase the ability to work at a minimum load from 30% to 40% and cut the…

The draft of the New and Renewable Energy (EBT) Bill shows that the government does not yet have a solution to get out of dependence on fossil energy. When China committed not to fund the Coal-fired Power Plants, Indonesia's coal targets and yields even reached the highest numbers in 2021. Fabby, Executive Director of IESR,…
