- The Indonesian Government recently approved the 2021 - 2030 Electricity Supply Business Plan (Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik – "RUPTL") for PT PLN (Persero), which sees new and renewable energy power plants taking a dominant position of 51.6% of total power generation for the first time, while the remainder still lies with more traditional fossil-fuel-based form of energy.
- According to Arifin Tasrif, Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, in line with the RUPTL, the government is encouraging PT PLN (Persero) to invest in the development and strengthening of the country’s electrical power distribution system, as well as in improving its customer service.
- Mr. Tasrif went on to affirm that the accelerated introduction of power plants was targeting a figure of 40.6 gigawatts over the next ten years and would open up the sector to private power companies and independent power producers (IPP) as regards the development of new and renewable energy-based plants. The targeted figure for additional power plants of 40.6 gigawatts breaks down into 20.9 gigawatts of renewable energy generating capacity and 19.6 gigawatts of fossil-fuel generating capacity.
- The government is also currently promoting an increase in the country’s solar power generation capacity in light of the fact that solar generation equipment is continuing to fall in price and develop rapidly. It is hoped that these developments will ultimately help the country to achieve its new and renewable energy mix target of 23% by 2025.
- Finally, achieving the above-mentioned new and renewable energy mix target will also be achieved through the co-firing of electric steam power plants with biomass and through the close monitoring of the environment in relation to the availability of feedstock. (ANT)
