JAKARTA — On the path toward its Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2060 target, Indonesia faces a major challenge often referred to as the “energy transition trilemma.” It demands a precise balance between sustaining economic growth, ensuring national energy security, and pursuing gradual decarbonization.
The Chairman of the Indonesian Private Power Producers Association (APLSI), Eka Satria, stressed that the energy transition is not merely a shift from one energy source to another.
“This transition must rest on four fundamental pillars: supply security, price affordability for industry, environmental sustainability, and bankability for investors.”

APLSI believes the narrative around the energy transition must shift from being merely an “environmental burden” to an “economic opportunity.” With its abundant renewable energy (EBT) potential, Indonesia has a golden chance to drive industrialization, create green jobs, and strengthen local manufacturing.
However, this success requires cross-sector collaboration. Government, the private sector, academia, and the banking industry must work in synergy to create a conducive ecosystem — encompassing regulatory certainty, well-targeted incentives, and the development of local talent ready to manage future energy infrastructure.
APLSI remains committed to supporting the government in formulating a transition roadmap that is realistic, practical, and delivers maximum benefit for the prosperity of the Indonesian people.
