    Indonesia is still lagging in renewable power generation. There are plenty of coal power plants brought online to meet rising energy demand in Indonesia right now, to the point of surplus. There are many new renewable energy power plants being constructed right now in Indonesia, but it’ll take time until they’re fully online, with the goal being 23% of total electricity production coming from renewable by 2025, .

    My wife actually will be on a business trip to review safety procedure of a newly built geothermal power plant in the middle of nowhere in Sumatra next week, so at least that’s one of the renewable power plants we know will be coming online soon.
