Eniya Listiani Dewi, Director General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, said the Energy Minister has been highly proactive in translating President Prabowo’s vision into concrete policies. One of these efforts is the issuance of Ministerial Regulation No. 10/2025 on the Energy Transition Roadmap for the Electricity Sector, designed to accelerate Indonesia’s shift toward clean energy.
“What we must do is identify all potential natural resources to address the challenges of the energy transition. This includes optimizing bioenergy, geothermal potential, water resources, and high solar irradiation. Electricity generation and solar energy are receiving significant attention. From there, we transition from fossil fuels to low carbon and then to carbon free systems,” Eniya said on CNBC Indonesia’s Prabowonomics program, quoted Monday, November 3, 2025.
She explained that these strategies are incorporated into the RUPTL, the 10 year National Electricity General Plan. By 2034, Indonesia is expected to secure 70 percent renewable energy capacity, with an additional 69.5 GW of total capacity, including 42.6 GW from renewable energy and 10.3 GW from storage and battery systems. She added that ocean current energy is also being targeted at 40 MW over the next decade.
“We are also incorporating nuclear power to demonstrate that clean energy is being planned on a massive scale. Our target is 500 megawatts by 2032 for on grid nuclear, and this has been included in national planning. This is a very aggressive step never seen before. Our investment target this year alone will reach 1.5 billion US dollars specifically for renewable energy,” she noted.
With these targets, annual renewable energy additions are projected to reach 1 GW, the highest in Indonesia’s history. In transportation, clean energy policies have been implemented since early 2025. Eniya highlighted the rollout of the B40 biodiesel mandate as one of the government’s key achievements this year, contributing both to energy security and broad economic impact.
“Our biodiesel use is already the highest in the world at 40 percent. This is unprecedented. No other country has achieved this,” she said.
The B40 program reduces fossil fuel imports and has created substantial employment across upstream and processing sectors. Nearly 1.5 million workers are currently employed in on farm activities, while the FAME biodiesel industry has expanded rapidly to 24 business entities.
Beyond economic activity, B40 has helped lower emissions and save foreign exchange. Eniya said the biodiesel sector could reduce 27.18 million tons of CO₂ in 2025, with added CPO value reaching 14.26 trillion rupiah. Foreign exchange savings from biodiesel are estimated at 147 trillion rupiah through 2025, strengthening national energy security and the domestic resource based economy.
However, challenges remain. Indonesia faces two main obstacles in achieving its national energy mix target: electricity sector constraints and fuel sector limitations. Many renewable sources are located in remote regions, such as geothermal fields in mountains or solar plants requiring large land areas.
To address this, transmission network expansion is essential. “We have included this in the new RUPTL and are aggressively investing in transmission,” she said.
The second challenge involves bioenergy. While Indonesia leads the world in biodiesel usage, achieving this requires stronger engagement from farmers and industry players. “The 35 percent roadmap was supposed to take two to three years, but it was accelerated. This is where our natural resources are being tapped, involving many farmers. That is what we want,” she concluded.
