Minister of ESDM, Arifin Tasrif, stated that energy transition can be achieved by utilizing clean and renewable energy sources available within the country, as Indonesia possesses significant potential. He emphasized that these resources, with the right technological support, can be utilized to achieve the 2060 NZE target.
Arifin mentioned that the Indonesian Government continues to promote the NRE acceleration integration into the energy mix through rolled-out policies. "With the support of the Government, SOEs, and other businesses, InshaAllah, we can implement all," Arifin Tasrif expressed.
He hoped through this event, awareness regarding energy transition and NRE use can be disseminated to the public. "I appreciate the stakeholders and businesses that continue to support Indonesia in the progress of NRE development in our infrastructure," Arifin Tasrif concluded.
