        "summary": "The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) are collaborating to optimise the use of weather and maritime data to bolster national energy resilience, providing accurate support for contractors and accelerating the energy transition. Key initiatives include targeting 100 GW of solar power capacity within 2-3 years, prioritising solar replacements for costly diesel plants in remote areas, increasing biodiesel mandates to B50 by July 2026, and shifting LPG users to CNG to address deficits. This integration, overseen by the Downstreaming and National Energy Resilience Task Force, aims to achieve energy self-sufficiency and drive economic growth up to 8 per cent.",

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of\nEnergy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and the Meteorology, Climatology,\nand Geophysics Agency (BMKG) are optimising the utilisation of weather\nand maritime data to strengthen national energy resilience. Expert Staff\nto the Minister of ESDM for the Commercialisation and Transportation of\nOil and Natural Gas, Satya Hangga Yudha Widya Putra, in his statement in\nJakarta on Tuesday, emphasised the importance of data synchronisation\nbetween BMKG and the Ministry of ESDM to support operational efficiency\nin the upstream oil and gas sector, minerals and coal, new energy,\nrenewables, and energy conservation (EBTKE), as well as electricity.\n\u201cThis collaboration is to provide accurate data support for contractors\nof cooperation contracts, accelerate the energy transition, and\nsafeguard national energy sovereignty through the use of Merah Putih\ndata,\u201d he said. According to him, the utilisation of a monitoring system\nfor 30,000 ships in cooperation with the Ministry of Transportation and\ncredible data from BMKG, including wind and solar potential, rainfall,\nwind, lightning, earthquakes, waves, and sea swells, is greatly needed\nby the ESDM sector. Hangga also stated that the government is currently\npursuing a target of building 100 GW of solar power plants (PLTS) within\nthe next 2-3 years, a significant increase from the current capacity of\n1.5 GW. In addition, the dedieselisation programme in the outermost,\nunderdeveloped, and frontier regions (3T) is being prioritised to\nreplace high-cost diesel power plants (PLTD) with more competitive\nsmall-scale PLTS solutions. Hangga continued that in efforts to achieve\nenergy self-sufficiency in line with the Astacita vision, the government\nensures that diesel for industrial needs is now fully met from domestic\nproduction through biodiesel mandates. \u201cThe fatty acid methyl ester\n(FAME) blend, currently at 40 per cent (B40), is planned to increase to\n50 per cent (B50) on 1 July 2026,\u201d he said during a working visit to\nBMKG in Jakarta on Monday (4\/5\/2026). Meanwhile, to reduce the national\nLPG deficit, the government is encouraging a gradual shift from 3 kg LPG\nto CNG, given Indonesia\u2019s surplus of C1 and C2 gas. \u201cThis downstreaming\nstrategy is overseen by the Downstreaming and National Energy Resilience\nTask Force led by the Minister of ESDM and is expected to become an\nengine of economic growth up to 8 per cent,\u201d Hangga explained.\nMeanwhile, Director of Maritime Meteorology at BMKG, Agie Wandala Putra,\nstated that BMKG\u2019s war room system, which is connected to 38 provinces,\nis ready to provide full support to the national energy sector through\nthe provision of high-accuracy maritime meteorological data. \u201cWe are\ncommitted to ensuring real-time data integration, including SIDARMA\nNowcast and INA-SIAM Aviation Weather services, can be accessed even in\nremote mining locations to mitigate operational risks,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
