Mission impossible: Indonesia may be setting ambitious energy targets

摘要

Indonesia pledged to reduce emission by 26% in 2020 in its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), where the Indonesian government shifted its policy from coal to more environmental friendly gas generation. If implemented, demand for gas would increase to support the shift in the generation mix. What impacts would this have on other energy players and what regulatory changes must be done? Will this affect Indonesia's energy targets? These are among the sectoral topics discussed in the Jakarta leg of the 2017 Asian Power Utility Forum held in Ritz-Carlton Mega Kuningan in April 6, which was attended by over 30 key representatives from the Indonesian power market.
