Energy security as positive force for green growth in Indonesia?

This report by Clingendael analyzes the intersection of energy security and green growth in Indonesia, arguing that current fossil fuel-based investment paths threaten long-term economic development and identifying the structural and political barriers preventing the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.

• Indonesia faces imminent energy security challenges that could hinder economic development if not addressed, yet current investments continue to follow a 'business as usual' path based on fossil fuels.
• The capacity of the government to operate efficiently is hindered by structural challenges, specifically a form of proportional democracy that results in loose coalitions, leading to inefficiency and inconsistent policy.
• The realization of green growth in Indonesia is obstructed by three primary factors: inconsistent policies, a lack of available investment capital, and significant internal political pressure to utilize domestic fossil resources regardless of environmental or economic optimality.
