Indonesia to transform operating diesel-fired power plants to renewable projects

The conversion projects will be led in stages, ending between 2025 and 2026.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is planning to convert all diesel-fired power plants that are still operating in the country into renewable projects,

The authorities are planning to start with 358 diesel-fired power plants to be replaced by solar plants. 

The conversion will be led in stages, with the first phase expected to be completed between 2023 to 2024. The conversion is estimated to end by 2026.

Indonesia aims to have 23% of total power capacity to come from renewables by 2025 and at least 28% by 2038.
