President Prabowo Subianto recently shared his optimism about Indonesia’s ability to achieve net-zero carbon emissions within the set timeframe, positioning the country as a frontrunner in reaching this environmental milestone. In a video conference focused on renewable energy development and oil production expansion in East Java, Prabowo emphasized Indonesia’s proficiency in energy generation and efforts to streamline logistics chains for increased efficiency.
Highlighting the significance of energy independence in Indonesia’s quest for national sovereignty, the government has unveiled plans to launch 55 new renewable energy projects, including the establishment of geothermal power plants. These initiatives aim to offer clean, reliable, and efficient energy solutions throughout the vast archipelago, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Acknowledging the collaborative efforts of various ministries, regulatory bodies, and key energy companies like Medco Energi and ExxonMobil, President Prabowo underscored the pivotal role of renewable energy in the country’s energy transition. Despite Indonesia’s abundant oil and gas reserves, the push towards renewable energy sources, particularly solar power, is crucial for ensuring self-sufficiency in energy supply across diverse communities nationwide.
Optimistic about Indonesia’s future trajectory, Prabowo sees solar energy as a beacon of hope for rural villages, districts, regencies, and isolated islands. By harnessing the potential of renewable energy sources, Indonesia is poised to create a more sustainable and brighter future for its citizens.
