Indonesia’s Renewable Power Capacity Surges

Installed Clean Energy Plants Reach 15.2 GW Milestone

Indonesia’s commitment to clean energy is evident as the nation’s installed renewable power generation capacity saw a substantial boost in the first half of the year.

Significant Growth Recorded

The country added 876.5 megawatts of renewable power plant capacity between January and June, pushing the total installed capacity to a significant 15.2 gigawatts. This expansion underscores Indonesia’s dedication to diversifying its energy mix.

Minister Highlights Drivers of Expansion

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, announced the figures, attributing the growth to a range of renewable sources. He specifically mentioned advancements in geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, biomass, and mini-hydro power generation.

Bahlil Lahadalia stated, The installed capacity of renewable power plants in 2025 has reached 15.2 gigawatts.

This expansion aligns with global trends toward sustainable energy solutions. For context, Vietnam, a neighboring Southeast Asian nation, aims to have 32% of its total electricity consumption come from renewable sources by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency.
