Yudo Dwinanda Priaadi, the Director General of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation of ESDM, anticipated that by 2060, most of the energy used in the country will be solar energy but it will need batteries to store the energy. He added that Indonesia needs affordable new energy sources that are accessible to everyone.
