Indonesia Trims Gas, Backs Renewables in National Power Plan

Indonesia aims to boost the buildout of renewable energy in its latest national power plan, scaling back gas additions to the grid.

Southeast Asia’s largest economy will look to add roughly 60 gigawatts of power generation capacity over the next nine years, according to a presentation prepared by the energy ministry. About three quarters of that will be from renewable sources, with the rest supplied by gas and coal.
