Indonesia
Indonesia remains reliant on fossil fuels, while its neighbours have begun their transition to clean, cheap electricity
In 2022, Indonesia relied on fossil fuels for 80% of its electricity. Its emissions per capita were below the global average.
Indonesia’s largest source of clean electricity is hydro (8%). Its share of wind and solar (0.2%) is below the global average (13%) and its neighbours the Philippines (4% in 2023) and Thailand (5% in 2023).
Indonesia’s power sector emissions grew in the last two decades as electricity demand more than tripled and was met almost entirely with electricity generated by coal and gas.
Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) draft plan proposes it will reach at least 44% renewables in its power generation by 2030.This is below the global target of 60% renewable electricity set out in the IEA Net Zero Emissions scenario and overlooks the country’s largely untapped renewables potential.
