T
he Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has officially launched the long-awaited 2025-2034 electricity procurement business plan (RUPTL), outlining how much power state-owned utility company PLN plans to add in the coming decade.
PLN plans to create an additional 42.6 gigawatts (GW) of new and renewable power capacity between 2025 and 2034 according to the energy ministry. That is equivalent to 61 percent of the planned 69.5 GW of additional electricity capacity.
The company will also add more fossil fuel power plants, including 10.3 GW from gas and 6.3 GW from coal.
An additional 10.3 GW of power generation is planned through battery and hydropower plant storage.
When asked about the details of the development of a fossil fuel-powered plant under the plan, the energy ministry's electricity director general Jisman Hutajulu said, “We will probably share the details next week”.
Of the planned total 42.6 GW renewable power capacity, 17.1 GW will come from solar power, followed by hydro, wind and geothermal power at 11.7 GW, 7.2 GW and 5.2 GW, respectively. The rest will be produced by bioenergy and nuclear power plants.
