Making Energy Transition Succeed: A 2023’s Update on The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS)

IESR first published the LCOE report and tool in 2019. This year we updated our tool with more technologies and the new economics of energy technology. IESR’s 2023 Update of LCOE and LCOS shows that renewables have become more competitive than fossil fuels. Nevertheless, renewable energy adoption in Indonesia remains low due to the government’s own policy of maintaining massive subsidies for fossil fuels. As Indonesia plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner, and the power sector’s emissions peak in 2030, energy subsidy and pricing reform should be prioritized. With that, the utility should move faster to deploy renewables and retire coal plants sooner.

Indonesia Electric Vehicle Outlook 2023

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.

Indonesia Energy Transition Outlook (IETO) 2023

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.

Enabling High Share of Renewable Energy in Indonesia’s Power System by 2030 Alternative electricity development plan compatible with 1.5°C Paris Agreement

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.

Solar PV Pipeline Project Mapping in Indonesia

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.
