In the meantime, Tumiwa suggested that the government could put into place 130 GW of renewables capacity by 2030. From IESR’s recent study, this plan can be pushed through before 2030 and it is not needed to wait until 2055,” added the IESR director. This could cause financial difficulties for PLN in the near future,” said Fabby Tumiwa, executive director of the Institute for Essential Service Reform (IESR), a think tank in Indonesia.Ĭlosing down 50 GW of coal-fired power plants still isn’t sufficient to guarantee Indonesia’s smooth sailing toward its net-zero emissions target. “Since last year (2020), countries such as Japan, South Korea, and even China – which used to be the biggest supporter of Indonesia coal investment – decided to limit their direct investments. In addition to speeding up mangrove restoration, Indonesia has committed to responding to this challenge by cutting fossil fuels from its power sector altogether.Įxternal factors are also playing a role in this exit plan, as direct investments in the coal sector have dried up.
This target, though, is seen as insufficient to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal, with Indonesia therefore needing to plan more ambitious steps.Ĭutting emissions from the two most polluting sectors, such as forestry (from fire clearing and land use) and power generation, are both significant.
The country’s National Determined Contributions (NDC), related to the ratified Paris Agreement, target 29% of business-as-usual (BaU) conditions, or 41% NDC with international support. There are several factors that triggered Indonesia’s coal exit plans.
