        "summary": "The Indonesian Solar Energy Association (AESI) highlights the vast 3.3 Terawatt potential of solar energy in Indonesia, while noting significant hurdles regarding land availability and regulatory synchronisation. Experts also call for more effective implementation of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) to facilitate the early retirement of coal-fired power plants.",
        "content": "<p>The Chairperson of the Indonesian Solar Energy Association (AESI),\nMada Ayu Habsari, expressed optimism regarding Indonesia\u2019s potential to\ndevelop new and renewable energy (EBT) through solar power (PLTS), given\nthe nation\u2019s massive solar potential which reaches 3.3 Terawatts.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, several challenges facing solar power projects remain,\nparticularly regarding land availability, necessitating development\nefforts through floating solar and rooftop solar systems. Furthermore,\nlicensing issues continue to challenge solar energy entrepreneurs,\nprimarily concerning the synchronisation of policies between central and\nregional governments. Additionally, the small scale of projects in\nremote areas makes it difficult for businesses to secure access to\nfinancing.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Program and Policy Manager of CERAH, Wicakso Gitawan,\nhighlighted that Indonesia\u2019s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP)\nprogramme, intended to accelerate the energy transition and the early\nretirement of coal-fired power plants (PLTU), has not yet been\neffective. Launched four years ago, the JETP still faces financing\nconstraints and complexities in planning the early retirement of coal\npower plants.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped that the implementation of the second phase of JETP can\nfocus on the early retirement of coal power plants alongside the\nphase-in of renewable energy. However, a just energy transition must\nsatisfy four variables: distributive justice, procedural justice,\nrecognition justice, and restorative justice.<\/p>",
