Telkom Clarifies Decarbonisation Direction Through Roadmap and Transition Pathway
PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk is focusing on implementing a targeted decarbonisation strategy through the GoZero% initiative, supported by a transition pathway and emission pathway towards Net Zero Emissions by 2060. The target of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 20% by 2030 provides a clear direction.
“This focus was chosen because these two scopes are the areas that can most be controlled through energy efficiency and changes in electricity sources,” Telkom stated in a written release received on Wednesday (8/4/2026).
Amid network growth, Telkom continues to demonstrate consistent efforts in curbing direct operational emissions and enhancing efficiency across various lines. To achieve this target, Telkom relies on six integrated decarbonisation levers.
In the first lever, the company focuses on energy efficiency and technology modernisation, including device optimisation, cooling systems, and the use of AI and IoT to control energy consumption in real-time. Next, operational electrification is pursued through reducing diesel genset usage and transitioning to electric vehicles, with a target of 100% full fleet electrification by 2040.
On the energy supply side, the utilisation of renewable energy is being expanded, with a target to build more than 14 MWp of solar PV by 2030. Initial implementation includes 275 BTS sites based on solar energy and microhydro. These efforts are strengthened through Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to ensure verified clean energy usage.
As a complement, carbon offsetting is used selectively to balance residual emissions. Beyond that, a circular economy approach is also applied, such as managing 80% of fibre optic cable waste (176,000 kg) and device reuse programmes, which not only reduce emissions but also generate cost efficiencies.
In addition, external factors such as government policy support in the national energy transition are part of the decarbonisation ecosystem, particularly in promoting lower-emission energy use at the electricity system level. Decarbonisation implementation is also reinforced through a broader operational approach.
The utilisation of digital technology enables more consistent efficiency, while applying circular economy principles helps curb emissions from materials and asset life cycles. More than just a commitment, decarbonisation now serves as the company’s strategic guide in achieving low-carbon operations as well as the Net Zero Emissions 2060 target.
The presence of the transition pathway and emission pathway reflects Telkom’s seriousness in managing emissions in a measurable, transparent, and data-based manner, ensuring every initiative stays on track with the targets.
With increasingly structured steps, decarbonisation becomes a core part of Telkom’s business strategy, ensuring digital economic growth remains aligned with efforts towards a low-carbon future.
