The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has partnered with Japan-based utility companies to develop strategies to boost the decarbonisation of Indonesia’s power sector. These companies include Tokyo Electric Power Services Company (TEPSCO), JERA Company Incorporated, Tokyo Electric Power Company Incorporated (TEPCO) and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Power Grid.
The utilities have formed a joint venture (JV) to conduct a Data Collection Survey on the Power Sector in Indonesia from November 2021 to March 2022. The project involves acquiring and analysing data on existing and prospective energy industry trends. The firms will then propose roadmaps that the Government of Indonesia can adopt to reduce its reliance on coal-fired energy generating and retiring conventional energy generation.
The roadmaps are intended to assist the Government of Indonesia in meeting its goal of generating 23 per cent of its total energy production from renewable sources by 2025, as well as halting the construction of new coal power plants by 2030.
