Getting to 23 Per Cent: Strategies to scale up renewables in Indonesia

The report assesses Indonesia's progress toward its goal of a 23 per cent renewable energy share in the national energy mix, noting that the country is currently off pace. It highlights that total renewable installed capacity was 9.4 GW at the end of 2018, failing to meet the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' target of 15.5 GW for the second quarter of 2018. The document proposes solutions including increasing solar and biomass power, reducing coal reliance, and reforming energy pricing to align with Paris Agreement commitments and electrification goals.

• Indonesia is currently failing to meet its target of increasing the share of renewables to 23 per cent of the national energy mix.
• Renewable energy capacity additions have been slow, with total installed capacity reaching only 9.4 GW by the end of 2018, missing the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' target of 15.5 GW for the second quarter of 2018.
• To achieve its goals, the report suggests strategies such as expanding solar and biomass power, decreasing dependence on coal, and reforming energy pricing.
• Under the Paris Agreement, Indonesia has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 29 per cent below baseline emissions by 2030, or 41 per cent if international support is provided.
