The government of Indonesia plans to replace coal-fired power plants 20-years and older with renewable energy power plants, Reuters reports, citing Energy and Mineral Resources minister Arifin Tasrif.

“Perusahaan Listrik Negara is taking inventory of those plants that will be replaced by renewable energy plants,” Tasrif said, referring to state electricity utility company.

He said the government may replace up to 69 units of coal-fired power plants and coal gas-fired power plants, with a combined power capacity of over 11,000 megawatts of electricity, he said.
