“…Often involving imported power plant components [25], the Decree of the Minister of Industry of Indonesia Number 5 of 2017 mandated that at least 60% of solar photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure components must be domestically sourced. This requirement, aimed at promoting local production, poses a significant challenge to the expansion of solar PV due to resource limitations and industry readiness [34]. As a relatively new technology, renewable energy may also entail complex maintenance processes and technical operational inefficiencies and intermittencies, resulting in higher operational and maintenance costs [34].…”

As a relatively new technology, renewable energy may also entail complex maintenance processes and technical operational inefficiencies and intermittencies, resulting in higher operational and maintenance costs [34]. Also, although Indonesia relies on power grids for transmitting and distributing electricity, 'take-or-pay' contracts between PLN and the independent power producer restrict the flexibility needed to effectively integrate renewables to the grid system [9].…”

Indonesia’s commitment to the Paris Agreement and its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) is not adequately reflected in the significant CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel-intensive energy sectors, despite the enormous potential of renewable energy sources in the country. The ongoing coal regime has led to electricity oversupply and air pollution problems. Despite the huge challenges for Indonesia, a just energy transition away from fossil fuel is crucial. This study aims to explore the ideal energy mix and key emission reduction pathway in Indonesia in achieving a just energy transition using the least-cost optimisation energy modelling tool OSeMOSYS. Six scenarios are modelled over the period 2015–2050 including coal phase-out, NDC, the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), and carbon tax implementation. The results highlight that solar power, geothermal power, and hydropower are the alternatives for coal decommissioning. Despite the large-scale investment in renewable energy under the NDC and JETP scenarios, emissions could be reduced by 55% and 52%, respectively, by 2050. Moreover, Indonesia’s current carbon tax rate will not lead to a significant emission reduction. Three recommended policies include (1) accelerating CFPP retirement; (2) imposing an aggressive carbon tax rate; (3) prioritising investment in solar technologies.

“…Research result of Sumarsono et al stated that solar energy industry in Indonesia is on its introductory stage or emerging industry and might face several problems such as absence of infrastructure, standardization of product or technology, customers confusion due to diverse product existence, variation of technology as well as conflicting claims by competitors; erratic/unpredictable product quality; image and credibility towards financial community; regulatory problem; high initial cost; and response of threatened entities [4]. Director General, New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) Dadan Kusdiana also stated that the utilization of solar energy in Indonesia only reach 0.07% from more than 200 Giga Watt (GW) potential.…”

Catur Elang Energi (CEE), as one of the business diversifications of PT. Catur Elang Perkasa was established in 2020 to support Indonesian government to increase the new and renewable energy contribution in Indonesia by providing EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) service for roof top solar power plant. In 2022, revenue generated from their operations is not good enough to achieve the target given by management. This research conducted to know the external and internal factor and propose strategy to improve CEE performance. This study further analyzes how the company runs its business from an external and internal perspective. This study uses external analysis such as PESTEL analysis, Porter’s five forces, and competitor analysis. Moreover, there are also internal analysis such as Segmenting, Targeting Positioning (STP) analysis, Marketing Mix. Then a further analysis was conducted by using a SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Catur Elang Energi business. Business Model Canvas used to define and communicate Catur Elang Energi business and TOWS Matrix will help Catur Elang’s develop its business and sales. the recommendation given include product development for solar energy related product, promotional campaign, developing agent network, and partnership with financial institution. Strategy implementation in the form of Gantt chart also made based on recommendation that can be implemented by PT. Catur Elang Perkasa.

“…The Republic of Indonesia's status as a prominent player in the global coal industry cannot be overstated. Within this sector, private enterprises firmly hold the reins, functioning under the framework of a government contract system (Sumarsono, Wahyuni, and Sudhartio 2022). As of 2021, the yearly output from coal mining operations was impressively estimated at around 560 million tons, constituting a notable 6%-7% slice of worldwide production.…”

The energy sector's position as the second-largest contributor to Indonesia's total emissions underscores a critical environmental challenge. This concern is further compounded by the substantial carbon footprint attributed to coal-based power plants. As a result, the energy sector has been included in an updated Indonesian Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to reduce 314 million metric tons CO2eq by 2030. The energy transition program in the subsector of electricity power plants, shifting from non-renewable fossil fuels to sustainable renewable sources, is one of the programs that will play a significant role in reducing emissions. However, the transition to renewable energy will necessitate numerous synergistic efforts in policy, technical, and financial arenas. This paper qualitatively identifies challenges and constraints of Indonesia's energy transition mechanism from four aspects: national energy planning; regulatory and legal framework; technology and infrastructure; and renewable energy financing. The study exposes diverse challenges, highlighting the complexity that characterizes the transition process and the need for a holistic approach, where policy decisions are seamlessly integrated with technological advancements and bolstered by robust financial support. This holistic approach will give information about the strategic decision-making by dissecting the intricacies of the energy transition, incentivizing renewable energy adoption through financial mechanisms, recalibrating regional structures, and instituting organizational reforms, paving pragmatic paths forward.
