As matters relating to electrical energy imports-exports and electrical energy capacity charges for Rooftop Solar Power Plants (Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya Atap "PLTS Atap") are no longer featured under the new framework, any excess electrical power that is produced through PLTS Atap systems may not be calculated as reductions in the electricity bills of PLTS Atap customers. Moreover, holders of Business Permits for the Provision of Electrical Power for Public Use (Izin Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik untuk Kepentingan Umum "UPTLU") are now required to establish a PLTS Atap development quotas for each of their electrical power systems, which should be drafted for five-year periods.

While previously, applications for the securing of water resources business permits ("Business Permits") were required to be submitted conventionally, the applicable submission procedure has now switched to an electronic mechanism via the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. Furthermore, approvals for water resources utilization ("Utilization Approvals"), which were previously known as Water Resources Utilization Permits, can now be secured through either of the following mechanisms: 1) Collection of data relating to non-commercial water resources utilization; or 2) Submission of applications for Utilization Approvals via the Water Resources Information System app.

Two schemes that address the organization Carbon Capture and Storage ("CCS") have now been introduced, which break down as follows: 1) CCS that is organized based on cooperation contracts for mining exploration and exploitation activities (Kontrak Kerjasama/KKS), as undertaken by Contractors that have entered into KKS in order to engage in mining exploration and exploitation activities; and 2) CCS that is organized based on permits for engagement in Injection Target Zone (Zona Target Injeksi/ZTI) exploration in Carbon Storage License Areas (Wilayah Izin Penyimpanan Karbon/WIPK) or permits for engagement in carbon injection and storage, as undertaken by Permit holders.

Broadly speaking, the organization of Carbon Capture comprises two phases, i.e. the planning and implementation phases. The Carbon Capture planning phase includes the drafting and submission of Carbon Capture development plans ("POD") that break down as follows: 1) POD I: applicable to the initial development of Carbon Capture facilities; and 2) POD II: applicable to the further development and advancement of Carbon Capture facilities or the submission of adjustments to POD I.

Biomass fuel (Bahan Bakar Biomassa "B3m") that is utilized by power plants should derive from organic materials (either partially or entirely) and should involve the simultaneous incineration of different types of B3m in certain ratios ("Biomass Cofiring"). In this regard, Biomass Cofiring should be implemented gradually in line with several phases between 2023 and 2030, as outlined under Appendix I to Regulation 12/2023.
