        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has set an ambitious goal to achieve 100 gigawatts of installed solar power capacity in Indonesia by 2029, accelerating the transition to green energy amid geopolitical uncertainties threatening national energy security. Speaking at the Indonesia-Japan Business Forum in Tokyo, he emphasised the urgency of maximising solar energy utilisation within the next three years, alongside leveraging domestic resources like geothermal and biofuels. This initiative aims to build a robust energy defence, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting electric vehicle adoption to curb petrol consumption.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - President of the Republic of Indonesia\nPrabowo Subianto is accelerating steps towards the transition to green\nenergy, one of which involves the target of constructing a\nmassive-capacity Solar Power Plant (PLTS). He targets Indonesia to reach\nan installed capacity of up to 100 Gigawatts (GW) at least by 2029.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo emphasised that the government will intensify efforts to\nmaximise the utilisation of electricity from solar energy over the next\nthree years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to move very quickly to use electricity from solar energy.\nWe have a plan and we are determined to proceed as quickly as possible;\nwithin three years, we want to achieve 100 gigawatts of solar energy,\u201d\nsaid Prabowo at the Indonesia-Japan Business Forum in Tokyo, Japan, on\nMonday (30\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The plan to accelerate the construction of PLTS is considered urgent\nto realise. According to him, the escalation of conflicts and ongoing\ngeopolitical uncertainties, particularly in the Middle East region, pose\na threat to national energy supply stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, this is more urgent because the geopolitical situation in\nthe Middle East provides strategic uncertainty for our energy security,\u201d\nPrabowo stressed.<\/p>\n<p>As anticipation, the government continues to strive to secure\nsupplies through the utilisation of domestic resources.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to solar power, Indonesia also has great potential in the\ngeothermal sector and is intensifying the production of biofuel such as\n50% biodiesel (B50) and bioethanol.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the government is also promoting the acceleration\nof the transformation to electric vehicles to reduce petrol consumption\nfor more than 114 million conventional motorcycles currently in\nexistence.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped that this can build a strong energy defence, while the\nnational coal reserves will serve as a reserve of last resort.<\/p>",
