Indonesia has unveiled its updated National Power Supply Plan (RUPTL), projecting an additional 71 GW of installed capacity over the next decade, with a focus on solar, hydropower, and geothermal energy to drive renewable power generation. The plan targets increasing the share of renewable energy to 35% of the country’s total energy mix by 2034.

Renewables to dominate new capacity

According to the state-owned electricity company PLN’s plan, renewables will account for 70% of the new installed capacity, with the largest increase coming from solar (17 GW), followed by hydropower (16 GW) and geothermal (5 GW). The remaining 12 GW will be sourced from other renewables such as wind and biomass.
