Indonesia State Utility Plans 31.6 GW Renewable Power Capacity in 2024-2033

Indonesia's state utility, Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), aims to build an additional 31.6 gigawatts of renewable power capacity between 2024 and 2033, representing 75% of the additional generation during that period. The plan aligns with Indonesia's goal to achieve net-zero emissions before 2060. The remaining capacity is expected to come from gas power plants. The strategy includes building transmissions to connect renewable sources to areas with high power demand, emphasizing a "coal phase-down" rather than a phase-out. PLN plans to implement carbon capture and storage technology when available. The proposal does not assume the accelerated shutdown of coal-fired plants.
