Will Indonesia increase its coal capacity in 7 years?
The electricity master plan reveals Indonesia’s intent to increase its coal capacity by 26.8 GW in seven years. Captive coal is the main driver of this coal expansion, representing over 20 GW of new coal capacity. Consequently, coal generation is expected to surge and reach its peak in 2037, with a 62.7% higher generation than current level.
Are captive coal power plants allowed in Indonesia?
While Indonesia has banned the development of new coal power plants (Presidential Regulation No. 112 of 2022), captive plants are exempt from this provision. As of 2023, Indonesia has 15 GW operating captive coal power plants, representing 28% of the total installed coal capacity.
How big is Indonesia's coal power capacity?
Since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, Indonesia has increased its total coal power capacity by 29 GW, bringing its current total to 54.7 GW − the fifth largest globally. The National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) for 2024–2060 outlines plans to add another 26.7 GW in the next seven years, 75 percent of which will also be captive.
Does Indonesia have a coal-fired power plant?
Versi Bahasa Indonesia tersedia di bawah Over the past year, Indonesia’s coal power capacity has seen a 15% increase. Yet, none of the increase has come from coal-fired power plants (CFPP) owned by the state-owned electric company PLN.
How much coal will Indonesia have in 2026?
CREA and Global Energy Monitor ’s latest report on Indonesia’s captive coal capacity following their 2023 report, finds that sizable growth in captive coal is expected to continue, with an estimated total of 11.04 GW up to 2026, including all units in the construction, pre-permitted, and announced phases.
Will Indonesia's New coal plants feed into the grid?
It’s also nearly half of Indonesia’s current coal capacity, which stands at 40.6 GW. Most of these new coal plants, 13 GW or 69%, will be “captive” plants, meaning they won’t feed into the grid, but will instead be dedicated to powering industrial or commercial consumers.
