Liga Asuransi<\/b> – The world is currently moving toward a major energy transition. Dependence on fossil fuels, which has supported the global economy for decades, is slowly shifting toward clean and sustainable energy. Indonesia occupies a strategic position amidst this momentum. With abundant natural resources, ranging from solar, hydro, geothermal, wind, and biomass, Indonesia has a great opportunity to become a global leader in renewable energy development.<\/span>renewable energy<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Government commitment to achieving targetsNet Zero Emissions by 2060is becoming increasingly evident. Several massive green energy projects are underway, from the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant (PLTS Terampulang), the Kayan Hydroelectric Power Plant megaproject in North Kalimantan, green energy development in the Indonesian Capital City (IKN), to the world’s largest geothermal exploration project. All of these projects are not only part of the national agenda but also in the international spotlight, making Indonesia a key player on the global energy map.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indonesia’s Roadmap to Renewable Energy<\/span><\/h3>\n

Indonesia has set a major direction for energy transformation throughNational Energy General Plan (RUEN). The medium-term targets that are in the spotlight a renewable energy mix of 23% by 2025, before increasing to 31% by 2050While this figure may seem ambitious, global trends and the push for new technologies make it a real opportunity if supported by consistent policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the important milestones is Indonesia’s involvement inJust Energy Transition Partnership (JETP)agreed at the G20 Summit in Bali in 2022. In this scheme, Indonesia received a funding commitment of up toUSD 20 billionfrom developed countries and international financial institutions to support the acceleration of the energy transition. These funds will be used to reduce dependence on coal, build renewable energy-based power plants, and strengthen green transmission infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the latest regulations such asPresidential Regulation No. 112 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of Renewable Energy DevelopmentIt also serves as a strong signal that the government is serious about paving the way for renewable energy investment. This regulation regulates the selling price of electricity from renewable energy generators, the contract scheme with PLN, and attractive fiscal incentives for investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the regional level, Indonesia also has a great opportunity to become renewable energy hub in Southeast Asia. With solar energy potential of more than200 GW, geothermal energy of24 GW(one of the largest in the world) and its strategic geographic location, Indonesia has the potential to become a supplier of green energy to neighboring countries. In fact, the idea of \u200b\u200bexporting renewable energy-based electricity to Singapore through a large-scale solar power plant project in the Riau Islands is now being seriously considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the success of this roadmap does not depend solely on the government. Close collaboration between the government, the private sector, foreign investors, and financial institutions is required to ensure the project proceeds as planned. Regulatory transparency, legal certainty, and protection are essential.riskbecome the main foundation in attracting sustainable investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Projects in the Spotlight for 2025<\/span><\/h3>\n

As Indonesia achieves its ambitious green energy transition, several large-scale renewable energy projects are currently underway with significant progress\u2014while presenting real challenges on the ground. The following recent examples serve as both a warning and a warning that risk protection is essential:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant \u2013 Expansion and Challenges<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant has become an icon of Indonesia’s energy transition. Its capacity now reaches <\/span>192 MWp<\/b>, making it one of the largest floating solar installations in Southeast Asia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

On August 20, 2025, a team from the Directorate General of Electricity together with the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources conducted a supervisory visit to this project, ensuring the reliability of the electricity business system and governance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, PLN Nusantara Power has explored expansion with Masdar (UAE) through the signing of an agreement. <\/span>Principles of Agreement in<\/span><\/i> early April 2025 as a step to increase the capacity of the Cirata PLTS.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

However, this expansion is not without social challenges. Local fish farmers are concerned about potential disruptions to their livelihoods if the project expands into parts of the reservoir currently used for floating net cages (KJA). Social conflicts like these present a real challenge for the developer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

2. Kayan Hydroelectric Power Plant \u2013 A National Strategic Project with Environmental & Social Controversy<\/span><\/h4>\n

Kayan Hydroelectric Power Plant, which is planned to have a capacity of up to <\/span>9.000 MW<\/b>, has been entered as one <\/span>National Strategic Projects (PSN)<\/b> Indonesia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

As of May 2025, the project’s physical progress had reached approximately 35%. Road infrastructure to the site had been completed, signaling that the field preparation phase was beginning to mature.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

However, the project also poses significant challenges: several indigenous villages, such as Long Pelban and Long Lejuh, are at risk of being submerged by the dam. Local communities have expressed concerns about the loss of land, culture, and identity if the project proceeds without social mitigation measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, foreign investors withdrew due to environmental and regulatory risks, forcing the developer to seek new partners to ensure project funding remained secure.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Project by Danantara Indonesia<\/span><\/h4>\n

Another project that was recently highlighted in late September 2025 was Danantara Indonesia’s (sovereign wealth fund) plan to launch minimum of eight waste-to-power projects until the end of October 2025. This project aims to convert municipal waste into electrical energy, especially in the Java and Bali areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Each WTE project is planned to produce \u00b115 MW per 1,000 tons of waste, with an investment of around IDR 2\u20133 trillion per unit capacity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

This project shows that Indonesia does not only rely on sunlight and water, but also utilizes the huge potential of waste as a renewable energy source.<\/span><\/p>\n

The examples of the projects above\u2014the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant, the Kayan Hydroelectric Power Plant, and Danantara’s WTE\u2014show that Indonesia is moving rapidly towards implementing green energy. However, each project carries nontrivial risks: social, environmental, technical, and regulatory. Therefore, project organizers must prepare a thorough protection strategy to prevent potential failures or lawsuits from destroying investments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major Challenges in Renewable Energy Development in Indonesia<\/span><\/h3>\n

The transition to green energy is never smooth. Every major renewable energy project in Indonesia is fraught with complex challenges\u2014from technical to social to regulatory. These challenges are not obstacles, but realities that must be addressed and managed to ensure that investments deliver sustainable benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following are some of the major challenges that have emerged in the course of Indonesia’s renewable energy projects:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Social Conflict with Local Communities<\/span><\/h4>\n

The case of the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant demonstrates how energy infrastructure development often clashes with the economic interests of surrounding communities. Fish farmers in the Cirata Reservoir opposed the expansion, fearing it would disrupt their floating net cages.<\/span><\/p>\n

A similar situation is evident at the Kayan hydroelectric power plant, where several indigenous villages are at risk of being submerged. Local residents feel they were not fully involved in the planning process, fueling social resistance. Without proper conflict management, any project, no matter how large, can stall or even fail.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Environmental Risks<\/span><\/h4>\n

Renewable energy projects are indeed emission-friendly, but their environmental impacts still need to be considered. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n
