Jakarta, INTI - As part of PLN Indonesia Power's strategic transformation, the domestic electricity supply will increase.
This is an effort to create a more environmentally friendly generation system, with electricity supply increasing by 30,276.2 MW along with the development of 268 power plant projects.
President Director of PLN Indonesia Power, Bernadus Sudarmanta, stated that this plan has been stipulated in the 2025–2034 Electricity Business Plan (RUPTL).
He explained that the plan involves the development of 268 power plant projects in several regions in Indonesia.
"PLN Indonesia Power is committed to be one of the main forces of the national energy transition. Through the development of new power plants increasingly dominated by renewable energy and efforts to decarbonize existing power plants, we are optimistic that we can support Indonesia's Net Zero Emission target by 2060," said Bernadus.
The development of this project is a crucial part of strengthening national energy security as well as supporting the government's efforts to achieve energy self-sufficiency and drive national economic growth towards the Golden Indonesia 2045 Vision.
Of the total development plan, approximately 28 GW is allocated within the 2025 RUPTL, while 2.2 GW is from previously assigned projects.
Overall, this program includes 268 power generation projects, comprising 255 projects allocated within the 2025 RUPTL and 13 previously assigned projects.
In the roadmap to Net Zero Emissions (NZE) 2060, PLN Indonesia Power targets a gradual transformation of its generating capacity from approximately 23 GW in 2025 to approximately 107 GW by 2060.
PLN Indonesia Power Also Focuses on Existing Power Plants Efficiency
This transformation is being carried out through two main initiatives: the development of new power plants with low to zero carbon emissions and the optimization of existing power plants to be more efficient and low-emission.
In addition to building new power plants, PLN Indonesia Power is also doing various decarbonization efforts at existing operating plants, such as the implementation of biomass cofiring, the use of hydrogen and biofuels, and the development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology.
"We are not only focused on building new clean energy power plants, but also transforming existing power plants through various low-carbon technological innovations. With this approach, the energy transition can be implemented gradually without compromising the reliability of the electricity system," said Bernadus.
In the power plant development plan until 2034, new and renewable energy (NRE) is one of the main focuses of PLN Indonesia Power's power plant portfolio development, including the construction of solar power plants, hydro power plants, wind power plants, and geothermal power plants. This is followed by strengthening energy storage technology through the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to support the integration of renewable energy into the national electricity system.
Conclusion
PLN Indonesia Power plans to strengthen the national electricity supply while advancing the energy transition, targeting an additional 30.2 GW capacity through 268 power plant projects under the 2025–2034 RUPTL. The strategy combines the development of renewable energy plants with efforts to decarbonize and improve the efficiency of existing power plants. The company aims to support energy security, economic growth, and Indonesia’s Net Zero Emissions 2060 target, while ensuring a reliable and sustainable electricity system.
