JAKARTA: Last year, Indonesia once again fell short of its renewable energy (RE) target, as coal and gas continued to anchor the country’s electricity supply. The contribution of RE to the national energy mix, which refers to total electricity production, rose by only 1.1 percentage points to 15.75% in 2025. The original 2025 target of 23% was lowered to 17% to 19% in the revised National Energy Policy, yet the achieved figure of 15.75% in 2025 still failed to meet the adjusted goal. “What’s mandated by laws and regulations isn’t consistently implemented,” Fabby explained, creating a high-risk perception for investors who see policies as “imprudent”. PLN’s 2021-2030 electricity business plan projected 10GW of new renewable capacity by 2025, but only 25% to 30% of that was realised.
