Contribute to Indonesia’s green growth and accelerate the deployment of renewables to realize its energy transition goals

National ambitions for a green energy future

Elevating and amplifying RE initiatives to achieve Indonesia’s 2030 energy goals and 2050 net-zero commitment.

GEAPP is enabling public–private-philanthropic partnerships for the scale up of renewable energy access in remote islands across Indonesia, driving e-mobility solutions, and showcasing productive uses of energy to communities.

Solutions for Indonesia

Phasing in Renewables

This is a right moment for Indonesia to scale-up their renewables potential – from 15% today to 44% in 2030. GEAPP supports various efforts, both through government enablement work and catalytic capital, to de-risk renewables projects. For example, GEAPP supports Indonesia’s De-Dieselization Program, aiming to convert 5,200 diesel power plants to renewable energy. The initiative aims to minimize the dependence on conventional fuels, increase the share of renewables in the energy mix, and improve reliability while reducing electricity costs. We are also providing planning support to build hundreds of megawatts of Solar PV and BESS for last-mile communities in remote areas.

Accelerating Coal Phase-out

Recognizing that ~85% of electricity generation in Indonesia is from traditional fuel, with 60% is from coal, GEAPP works with partners in Indonesia to accelerate the coal retirement and introduce renewables at scale. GEAPP works with the Government of Indonesia to develop a roadmap for coal retirement, strengthening their capacity to deliver just energy transition, and provide support to generate renewable energy pipeline projects to reach the country’s renewables target.

Scaling up Solar and Wind

The Tembesi Floating Solar Power Plant, one of the projects that GEAPP supports in collaboration with PT. SMI, Indonesia’s development bank, will play a critical role in advancing Indonesia’s national strategy to reduce reliance on conventional fuels and diversify its energy mix by providing 42 MWp of renewable energy to Batam City, with the potential to expand to 333 MWp. In another project, Tanah Laut 70 MW Project, GEAPP helps to demonstrate the viability of wind power + battery storage in this first utility-scale wind power plant integrated with a 10 MW/10 MWh BESS. These projects not only benefit communities with the provision of affordable and sustainable electricity and employment opportunities, they also serve as a blueprint for scalable and replicable green energy projects.

PLN has committed to achieve net zero emission and became the leader in Indonesia’s just energy transition. PLN acclaims this leadership responsibility and embraces global collaborations in the process. Working together with GEAPP signifies PLN’s commitment to clean energy and exemplifies collaborative actions taken by PLN to accelerate energy transition in Indonesia.

Let’s change energy

in remote island communities

In Kawa Village, Maluku, a solar-powered icemaker is doing more than just preserving fish—it is empowering local fishers to extend their fishing hours, boost their supply, and maintain quality. This innovative solution, a prime example of Productive Uses of Energy, is already translating into improved incomes and enhanced food security. GEAPP is partnering with PLN and other key stakeholders to ensure that more villages gain access to affordable, green power that supports sustainable livelihoods and strengthens local businesses.
