        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has reaffirmed his government's commitment to achieving energy self-sufficiency by boosting domestic oil lifting and eliminating all oil imports. Speaking at the groundbreaking of the 100 GWp solar power plant in Jembrana, Bali, he also ordered an end to LPG imports. Prabowo expressed optimism that the 100 GWp solar target could be reached in under three years, challenging his energy team to complete it within two years.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has emphasised the government\u2019s plan to\nachieve energy self-sufficiency, including by increasing national oil\nlifting so that Indonesia no longer needs to depend on oil imports.<\/p>\n<p>He made the remarks while officiating the groundbreaking of the 100\nGigawatt peak (GWp) Solar Power Plant programme at the Gilimanuk\nOperation Monument in Jembrana Regency, Bali, on Tuesday\n(25\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>In his speech, Prabowo said the 100 GWp solar programme is part of\nIndonesia\u2019s effort to stand on its own feet and not depend on global\ngeopolitical developments or conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 100 Gigawatts, we will truly become a nation standing on our\nown feet. We will not fear any development in any part of the world,\u201d\nPrabowo said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Indonesia\u2019s energy self-sufficiency will be\nsupported not only by solar energy but also by geothermal potential,\nnatural gas, and increased national oil production.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo even set a target for Indonesia to stop importing oil as soon\nas possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the geothermal we have, with the gas fields we have discovered,\nwith oil lifting that must keep rising, we must not import a single\nbarrel of oil anymore!\u201d Prabowo asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Not only oil, Prabowo also targeted Indonesia\u2019s ability to end its\ndependence on LPG imports. He asked Energy and Mineral Resources\nMinister Bahlil Lahadalia to carry out the target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must not import anymore, God willing, in the shortest possible\ntime, not even a single LPG cylinder may we import again!\u201d Prabowo\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The statement was then put to Energy and Mineral Resources Minister\nBahlil Lahadalia, who was present on the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnergy and Mineral Resources Minister? Ready! Able? Ready to carry\nout!\u201d Prabowo said, mimicking Bahlil\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo believes the energy self-sufficiency target can be achieved\nfaster than expected. He is optimistic that the 100 GWp solar programme\ncan be realised in less than three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe perhaps in less than 3 years we will reach 100 Gigawatts,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>He even asked his staff to achieve the energy self-sufficiency target\nwithin 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreviously, for food self-sufficiency I gave a 4-year target; the\neconomic team, the agriculture team, and the food team achieved it in 1\nyear,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat means if I give a 3-year target to the energy team, no way \u2014\nmake it 2 years then. If they succeed in 2 years, the energy team gets\nanother star, I will give them a decoration,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>",
