The report identifies 15 subsidy policies for Indonesia's coal industry, estimating subsidies at US$946 million in 2014 and US$644 million in 2015. In contrast, renewable energy subsidies were US$36 million in 2014 and US$133 million in 2015. While per-unit subsidies are similar, the report argues that coal's true cost is much higher when external costs from air pollution and carbon emissions—estimated at US$6 cents per kWh—are included. It concludes that Indonesia's energy policy should shift toward a larger share of renewables to reduce long-term societal costs.

  • The true cost of coal is significantly higher than that of renewable energy when subsidies and external costs are included.
  • The report identified 15 subsidy policies for the coal industry in Indonesia, with quantified subsidies estimated at Rp12.4 trillion (US$946 million) in 2014 and Rp8.5 trillion (US$644 million) in 2015. These figures are likely underestimates due to data limitations.
  • Renewable energy subsidies are substantially lower than coal subsidies. Between 2010 and 2015, renewables received US$179 million in subsidies, whereas coal's export tax relief alone totaled US$719.6 million from 2012 to 2015.
  • External costs for coal, including air pollution and carbon emissions, are estimated at US$6 cents per kWh, which significantly impacts the economic calculation of coal power plant development.
