JAKARTA: State-owned utility firm PT PLN plans to add 47 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity to the grid by the end of 2034 in line with the government’s effort to double down on its commitment to generate more power from clean energy, the company says.

That figure is equivalent to 70% of the total planned 68GW new capacity it seeks to procure over the next decade, with the rest to come from fossil fuel-based generation.
