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

The document details the legal actions taken by a coalition of civil society organizations, including Trend Asia, WALHI, and Greenpeace Indonesia, against the Indonesian government's National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) and the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL). It argues that these plans ignore the escalating climate crisis—exemplified by Cyclone Senyar—and instead lock the country into fossil fuel dependency through the extension of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) and the use of biomass co-firing, which the authors claim drives deforestation. The coalition alleges that these policies violate multiple national laws and international commitments, such as the Paris Agreement, by failing to provide a clear coal phase-out roadmap and ignoring cheaper renewable energy alternatives.

• Civil society organizations have filed lawsuits at the Jakarta Administrative Court (PTUN Jakarta) against the RUKN and RUPTL, arguing that these documents prolong the use of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) and increase reliance on gas.
• The RUKN 2025-2060 plans for 54 GW of coal-fired power plants to operate until 2060, with peak operations reaching 62.4 GW and incorporating 5-30% biomass co-firing.
• The RUPTL 2025-2034 is accused of violating the mandate of Perpres 112/2022 and the RPJPN 2025-2045 by adding approximately 2,600 MW of new coal capacity and extending the life of existing plants by 10-20 years instead of providing a retirement roadmap.
• The use of biomass co-firing is identified as a 'false solution' that risks increasing deforestation, particularly in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, where 31 forest utilization permits (PBPH) cover over 1 million hectares.
• The RUKN's projected energy investment cost of USD 1.092 billion (averaging USD 30.33 billion per year) is described as the most wasteful path to achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060, potentially increasing electricity prices or subsidy burdens.
