Indonesia's state-owned power utility PT PLN has announced plans to convert 800 coal-fired steam power plants to gas and to implement a biomass programme, in order to reach its target to achieve net zero emissions by 2060.
The group has earlier announced the cancellation of 13.3 GW of coal-fired steam power projects planned in the 2019-2028 Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) and another 1.2 GW of similar projects that had already signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). In addition, PT PLN had replaced another 1.1 GW of coal-fired power projects with renewable projects.
Indonesia's Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience 2050 (LTS-LCCR 2050) aims for net-zero emissions in 2060. As part of its Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), Indonesia aims at peaking on-grid power emissions before 2030 and capping on-grid power emissions at 250 MtCO2 in 2030, increasing the share of on-grid renewable power to 44% in 2030, and reaching near zero in the on-grid power system by 2050.
