Detailed in a new 2025-2034 energy supply plan, the government said Indonesia will need 2,967.4 trillion rupiah (S$235 billion) of investment to realise the expansion. State utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara will invest 567.6 trillion rupiah in new power plants and the government will offer 1,566.1 trillion rupiah of opportunities to investors. South-east Asia's largest economy has been working on the electricity supply plan for months, promising it to be an environmentally friendly investment plan that supports a target of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060. The new plan calls for 42.6GW of power plants with renewable sources such as solar, hydroelectricity and geothermal, as well as 10.3GW of energy storage. It also includes 10.3GW of gas-fired power plants and 6.3GW of coal-fired power plants. The document also introduced a plan for 0.5GW of energy from nuclear power plants, the first of which would start operating in 2032. The country will also build 47,758km of transmission lines under the plan. Indonesia has previously said investment in transmission lines to connect high energy demand places with renewable power is key for its efforts to decarbonise the power sector.

Power begins to return after outage in Bali

The outage was caused by disruption in the subsea cables which connect the electricity system in Bali with Java island. - AFP JAKARTA: Power has started returning in most areas affected by an outage in Indonesia's resort island of Bali on Friday (May 2), officials said, and efforts were continuing to fully restore services. A power outage hit a number of regions of Bali on Friday from 4 p.m. local time (0800 GMT), said state utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara. The island's airport was also impacted but inbound and outbound flight traffic continued using backup generators, the airport's general manager Ahmad Syaugi Shahab said in a statement, although several departures had experienced delays. Images shared on social media showed road traffic holdups in Bali as a result of the outage and long lines at the airport check-in counters. Power began to return a few hours after the blackout. "State utility PLN managed to restore most of the electricity supply in Bali," the spokesperson of President Prabowo Subianto, Prasetyo Hadi said in a statement after calling PLN's CEO. "God willing, power connection in Bali will be fully restored tonight (Friday night)," he said. PLN prioritised restoring electricity to key infrastructure such as government offices, hospitals, the airport, as well as hotels, said Prasetyo. The outage was caused by disruption in the subsea cables which connect the electricity system in Bali with Java island, triggering blackouts in a number of areas in Bali, he added. Bali is Indonesia's main tourist hotspot, with 6.3 million foreign visitors last year, according to the island's statistics bureau. - Reuters
