Indonesia’s Energy Transition: Accelerated Ambition

Indonesia’s plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and phase out coal-fired power by 2040 marks an important step in its energy transition, but significant hurdles remain. The government aims to add 100 GW of new capacity by 2040, including 75 GW from renewable sources such as solar, wind and geothermal.

However, with coal still powering more than half of the current 90 GW installed capacity, experts have expressed doubts about the feasibility of fully achieving these targets within the forecast period.
