Indonesia Electric Vehicle Outlook 2023 as one of IESR’s flagship reports. IEVO intends to track and monitor the progress of the energy transition in the transportation sector. This report is our contribution to raising awareness and understanding among all stakeholders, as well as shaping priorities and policy enhancements of actions toward transportation decarbonization to meet the net-zero emission target by 2050.
IETO 2023 arrives just as Indonesia embarks on its journey to transform its energy system. After President Jokowi pledged that Indonesia would reach net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner, the energy policy began to shift away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy last year. The obvious shift occurs in the power sector, where PLN’s 10-year RUPTL (2021-2030) for the first time includes more renewable power plants than fossil fuels. The decline in electricity demand, which was exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, compelled PLN to drastically reduce its coal-fired power plants.
The NZE objective also accelerates the power sector’s emission peaks relative to the initial plan. A USD 20 billion Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), launched during the Indonesia G20 summit, stipulated that emissions from the power sector will peak by 2030 and be capped at 290 MtCO2e. Even though the JETP target is not aligned with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement, it is still a good measure that could allow the rapid deployment of renewable energy, the improvement of energy efficiency measures, and the initiation of the coal phase-down before 2030. There is still a great deal of work to be done to make the energy transition truly happen and be sustainable.
This study aims to identify the supply chain and existing conditions of the solar industry in Indonesia and identify the types of industries that have the potential to be developed. The results of the analysis of this study are expected to become recommendations for making a roadmap for the solar panel component industry in Indonesia.
This study aims to provide a methodology and projections of a higher renewable energy penetration to Indonesia’s power system. Renewable energy sources used as candidate power plants in this study were solar, wind, and biomass while for the geothermal and hydro power plants only consider the development of the ones that are already in the current RUPTL pipeline.
The results of this study indicate that the use of Solar PV in Indonesia has the potential to get out of the megawatt trap. Instead of being trapped in insignificant growth, the pipeline project shows that the demand for PLTS to supply energy in Indonesia is very high and has managed to reach the order of gigawatts.
This Summary Report is part of the Climate Transparency Report 2022. We also unpack Indonesia’s progress and highlight key opportunities to enhance climate action across adaptation, mitigation, and finance
This report reviews several technical parameters and costs of Redox flow battery energy storage systems (RFB-BESS) compared to other BESS technology and PHS as a representative of long-duration and long-term storage technology.
ISEO 2023 provides an update on the progress of solar PV as the primary energy source in Indonesia’s energy transition, as well as its challenges and market opportunities. We hope this report can become a primary reference for policymakers, regulators, financiers, and the public to get insight into solar PV development in Indonesia. Let’s make solar PV a driving force in Indonesia’s energy transition!
The Indonesia Sustainable Finance Outlook (ISFO) 2023 is the Institute for Essential Services Reform’s (IESR) newest flagship research. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of sustainable financing in Indonesia, with a focus on the energy sector.
A just and accelerated retirement pathway to net-zero.
This research uses a structured methodology to develop a feasible plan and associated financing needs for retiring Indonesia’s coal-fired power plant fleet in support of national 2050 net-zero emissions and the global 1.5ºC target.
This report seeks to provide analyses and recommendations on green recovery measures that Indonesia can adopt to recover its economy post-pandemic, particularly through power sector initiatives, i.e. rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV), given its deflationary cost as well as its quick-to-deploy and labor-intensive nature.
This study aimed to explore the potential implications of the global and domestic climate and coal phase-out policies to the Indonesian economy, especially for the workers in the sector. It also aimed to examine the opportunities for economic transformation in coal-dependent regions and provide better welfare for workers.
