JAKARTA (Vietnam News/ANN): Indonesia's state-owned electricity company (PLN) said that it needs 25 billion USD to build a transmission grid connecting renewable energy sources across the country, also known as a green super grid. The project will create a 50,000 km transmission network connecting many areas across the country.

PLN Director Darmawan Prasodjo said the grid will play an important role in enabling the country’s transition to renewable energy sources as well as achieving its net zero emission commitment by 2060.
