Challenges in meeting renewable power target

State-owned electricity company PLN plans to build an additional 33.2 gigawatts of renewable power capacity between 2024 and 2033. — The Jakarta Post

JAKARTA: Indonesia is expected to make more commitments to the adoption of renewable energy (RE) following discussions about the new electricity procurement plan, but experts expect realising such ambitious goals will remain challenging because of the country’s inability to attract large investments.

State-owned electricity company PLN plans to build an additional 33.2 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power capacity between 2024 and 2033, according to the latest draft of the long-term electricity procurement plan (RUPTL) seen by The Jakarta Post this April.
