        "summary": "PLN's chief executive has stated that Indonesia's energy transition is not solely about reducing emissions but is fundamentally aimed at accelerating economic growth, bolstering national energy security, and ensuring social justice. He highlighted President Prabowo Subianto's vision and the target of developing 100 gigawatts of capacity to shift from imported fuels to domestic resources. The transition is also intended to provide more affordable energy, create jobs, and extend electricity access to communities still living without it.",
        "content": "<p>PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo has asserted that\nIndonesia\u2019s energy transition is not merely an agenda to reduce\ngreenhouse gas emissions. More than that, he said, the transformation of\nthe energy sector is directed at accelerating economic growth,\nstrengthening national energy security, and delivering social justice\nfor all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan stated that Indonesia has significant capital to execute\nthis agenda under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto. He made\nthe remarks during the Leaders\u2019 Briefing 2026: Powering Sustainable\nGrowth for the Future event at PLN\u2019s head office in Jakarta on Thursday\n(16\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are fortunate to have a visionary leader, namely President\nPrabowo Subianto,\u201d Darmawan said.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst a heating global situation, Darmawan assessed that Indonesia\u2019s\ncommitment to the energy transition is progressing well. According to\nhim, the government views economic growth and environmental\nsustainability as complementary, not contradictory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must maintain a balance between economic growth and environmental\nsustainability. And then there is a directive from President Prabowo\nSubianto, which is 100 gigawatts,\u201d Darmawan continued.<\/p>\n<p>In this process, he explained, Indonesia is shifting from imported\nenergy to domestic energy resources, thereby enhancing national energy\nsecurity. Darmawan explained that the development of energy capacity up\nto 100 gigawatts will be a crucial milestone in reducing dependence on\nimported energy.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the shift towards utilising domestic energy sources\nwill strengthen Indonesia\u2019s energy security while supporting economic\ngrowth. For Darmawan, the energy transition will also produce more\naffordable energy supplies, allowing the benefits to be directly felt by\nthe public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this, we will be able to provide affordable energy to\naccelerate economic growth, create more jobs, and bring prosperity to\nthe community,\u201d said the Magelang, Central Java native.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond pursuing economic and environmental targets, Darmawan noted\nthat President Prabowo also emphasised the importance of equitable\nenergy access. According to him, social justice must be realised through\nconcrete actions, including providing electricity to communities that\nhave not yet enjoyed such services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial justice for all Indonesian people is not just words on paper,\nbut must be realised in tangible form, as he said, there are our\nbrothers and sisters who have been living in darkness for 80 years,\u201d\nDarmawan concluded.<\/p>",
