Listrik Indonesia Honours Five Figures with Energy Executive Award 2026
The Energy Executive Award 2026, organised by Majalah Listrik Indonesia (MLI), has honoured five national energy figures for their dedication, leadership, and outstanding contributions to advancing Indonesia’s energy sector. The awards were presented at the Assembly Hall of the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC).
Prof. Tumiran, Chairman of the event’s organising committee and a member of the MLI Expert Council, stated that the award is a form of appreciation for executives and experts who have contributed to the national energy sector. He emphasised that the success of the energy transition is not solely determined by shifting energy sources, but also by Indonesia’s ability to master technology and build a national industry that adds value to the economy.
‘Energy resilience will be achieved if the development of energy conversion technology can grow domestically and create new jobs,’ Prof. Tumiran said. He added that the transition’s success hinges on Indonesia becoming a producer of technology, not just a consumer, and that national industry must be the main player, fully supported by government policy.
The recipients of the National Energy Figure awards were: Dr. Ir. Suroso Isnandar, Director of Project Management and New Renewable Energy at PT PLN (Persero), for consistently accelerating Indonesia’s renewable energy transition and energy self-sufficiency; Prof. Ir. Rinaldy Dalimi of the University of Indonesia, for his outstanding contributions to the advancement of renewable energy; Prof. Dr. Eng. Ir. Deendarlianto of Gadjah Mada University, for his outstanding contribution to energy science and engineering; Prof. Dr. Eng. Eniya Listiani Dewi, Director General of New, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, recognised as a key figure in accelerating the national implementation of new and renewable energy, particularly hydrogen; and Prof. Ir. Purnomo Yusgiantoro, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his distinguished leadership and outstanding contributions to Indonesia’s energy sector.
