Energy Transition In Indonesia

The Indonesian government expects geothermal, hydropower and bioenergy to be among the primary energy sources in Indonesia from 2015 until 2050, as outlined in Presidential Regulation No. 22 of 2017 regarding the National Energy General Plan (PR 22/2017).

PR 22/2017 also aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy supply mix from 5% in 2015 to 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. It also plans to reduce oil in the energy mix from 45% in 2015 to 25% by 2025 and 20% by 2050. The share of gas in the energy supply mix is targeted to shift from 23% in 2015 to 22% by 2025 and 24% by 2050.

The authors anticipate a reduction in Indonesia's reliance on oil while maintaining a dependence on gas proportionate to the country's reserves.
