Insurance is not merely a supplement, but a crucial foundation for ensuring that wind power projects proceed as planned and that significant investments are not lost due to unforeseen risks.

By 2024, global wind capacity is expected to increase by 117 GW, pushing the total capacity to 1,136 GW. China leads the way with nearly 80 GW, followed by the United States, Germany, India, and Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another growing trend is offshore wind power. By 2025, an additional 19 GW of offshore wind power capacity is projected, with investments reaching USD 80 billion. Offshore wind is gaining popularity due to the more consistent wind stability at sea compared to land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trends in Indonesia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesia actually has enormous wind potential, amounting to 154.6 GW (60.4 GW onshore and 94.2 GW offshore). However, as of 2024, installed capacity is only around 152.3 MW\u2014less than 1% of the potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To catch up, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is targeting an additional 5 GW of wind power plants by 2030. Some of the projects currently being developed include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Tanah Laut Wind Power Plant (70 MW)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in South Kalimantan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Timor Wind Power Plant (22 MW)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in NTT.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another wind power plant project is ready to operate in the 2025\u20132027 period.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ambitious target can only be achieved with full support from the investment sector, technology, and of course risk protection through insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Wind Power Trends in Indonesia<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Huge Potential, Still Low Utilization<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesia has a wind energy potential of 154.6 GW\u201460.4 GW onshore and 94.2 GW offshore.
