Briefing Paper Kaleidoskop 2025 Bencana Iklim Kian Masif, Akankah Pemerintah Berhenti Menggunakan Energi Fosil di Tahun 2026?

This briefing paper by Trend Asia discusses the impact of climate disasters in Indonesia and criticizes the government's energy planning documents—the National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) 2025-2060 and the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2025-2034—for continuing reliance on fossil fuels and 'false solutions' like biomass co-firing. It details legal challenges filed by a coalition of civil society organizations and affected citizens against these plans in the Jakarta Administrative Court (PTUN Jakarta).

• Indonesia experienced severe ecological disasters in 2025, including Cyclone Senyar in Southeast Asia, which caused thousands of deaths, hundreds of missing persons, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people in northern and western Sumatra due to increased vulnerability from deforestation.
• The National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) 2025-2060 is criticized for extending the life of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) until 2060 through biomass co-firing and increasing gas dependency. The plan projects 54 GW of coal PLTU operating until 2060, with peak operations reaching 62.4 GW and 5-30% biomass co-firing. The estimated investment cost is USD 1.092 billion, averaging USD 30.33 billion per year.
• The Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2025-2034 is challenged for allegedly violating several laws and regulations, including the RPJPN 2025-2045 and Presidential Regulation 112/2022. Specifically, it is accused of adding approximately 2,600 MW of new PLTU capacity and extending the life of existing PLTUs by 10-20 years instead of providing a phase-out roadmap.
• Trend Asia data indicates that between 2014 and 2024, Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra lost millions of hectares of natural forest to extractive industries, with 31 Forest Utilization Business Permits (PBPH) operating across 1,019,287 hectares. The document argues that biomass co-firing risks further deforestation by converting forests into Forest Timber Areas (HTE).
