Indonesia's Energy Policy Briefing

A February 2022 briefing by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) detailing Indonesia's energy subsidies, renewable energy targets, and potential financing mechanisms for a green recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Fossil fuel subsidies in Indonesia are projected to increase in 2022 to up to IDR 134 trillion (USD 9.34 billion), following an upward trend from IDR 115.69–116.53 trillion (USD 7.94–7.99 billion) in 2020 and IDR 128.5 trillion (USD 8.80–9.05 billion) in 2021.
• Indonesia failed to meet its 2021 renewable energy targets, achieving only a 11.5% share in its electricity mix against a target of 14.5%, and securing only 74% (USD 1.51 billion) of the targeted USD 2.04 billion in investments. The Indonesian government attributed these shortfalls to project delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The briefing suggests that Indonesia can finance its COVID-19 recovery and energy transition through fossil fuel taxation and subsidy reform, specifically noting that taxing coal is an effective way to reduce carbon emissions, citing India's experience as evidence of political and economic feasibility.
