The plan increases renewable energy's share to 74%, reducing fossil fuels to 26%.
Continued reliance on fossil fuels, especially gas, may slow the clean energy transition.
The first phase retains substantial fossil fuel capacity, while the second phase focuses on cleaner energy.
Indonesia may lag in global renewable investments due to its fossil fuel commitments.

History

Historical Context

Indonesia's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26% by 2020 under the 2009 Copenhagen Accord reflects its ongoing struggle with energy transition. Despite aiming for 17% renewable energy by 2025, fossil fuels dominate its energy landscape. The 2022 Just Energy Transition Partnership, involving $20 billion, aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, highlighting the challenges of balancing fossil fuel reliance with sustainability goals.
