Semarang – The Central Java Provincial Government continues to accelerate the development of new and renewable energy (NRE) as part of its efforts to achieve the 2025–2030 regional energy mix target. However, amid significant developments in infrastructure and cross-sector collaboration, the challenges of funding and optimising the use of clean energy remain significant.

During the Renewable Energy Media Dialogue held by IESR on Wednesday, 26 November, the Central Java Energy and Mineral Resources Agency presented the current state of the electricity sector, developments in renewable energy, and the ongoing energy transition strategy.

Technical Reviewer of Renewable Energy Policy at the Central Java Energy and Mineral Resources Agency, Muhammad Rifqy Arya Marendra, explained that the province’s electrification ratio has reached 99.99%, exceeding the 2025 target. However, the dependence of the Java-Madura-Bali (JAMALI) system on non-renewable energy power plants means that efforts to increase the share of clean energy must be intensified.
