Stop Coal, INDONESIA's New Renewable Energy Mix Target in 2025 Still Minus 11.5 Percent

The government continues to pursue the target of retiring the use of coal as the main source of electricity in steam power plants (PLTU) by 2030.

In this scenario, it is planned that 5.5 GW of steam power plants will be retired before that year. The use of coal will later be replaced by new renewable energy sources (EBT). For the short term, the government targets to achieve a 23 percent NRE mix in 2025. However, until early 2022, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) noted that the new and renewable energy (EBT) mix had only reached 11.5 percent. This means that there is still 11.5 percent more to pursue the short-term target of 23 percent of the NRE mix in 2025. Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif said that the government is targeting to implement rooftop solar panels by 2025, as well as develop the EBT mix to 10.6 GW. . "We have to stop coal-fired power plants and convert the use of diesel fuel to gas. In Indonesia we have quite a lot of gas," said Arifin in front of investors at the 2022 Mandiri Investment Forum event,
