Indonesia is intensifying its energy transition strategy through large-scale renewable energy development, electrification initiatives and alternative fuel technologies as part of efforts to strengthen national energy security and reduce fossil fuel dependence.
The government has announced plans to develop up to 100 GW of solar power capacity, positioning solar energy as a central pillar of the country’s long-term clean energy transition. The programme forms part of broader policies promoted under President Prabowo Subianto’s administration to expand renewable energy generation and accelerate decarbonisation.
Alongside solar development, the government is advancing other low-carbon technologies including hydrogen, ammonia and nuclear energy as part of future energy diversification efforts. Additional measures include support for electric vehicle adoption, induction stove deployment, energy efficiency programmes and a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants.
Indonesia is also promoting carbon capture technologies such as CCS and CCUS to reduce emissions from industrial activities and thermal power generation. Officials stated that the energy transition agenda will require close collaboration between government agencies, private sector players and international partners to meet long-term sustainability targets.
The initiative aligns with wider ASEAN efforts to strengthen regional energy resilience and expand renewable energy deployment. Indonesia also highlighted opportunities for hydropower expansion in Kalimantan, solar projects in Palawan and wind energy development in coastal regions as part of broader Southeast Asian clean energy cooperation.
