Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Indonesia is advancing its energy sector through both renewable transitions and infrastructure expansion to support industrial growth. In the push for decarbonization, companies are increasing biomass utilization. PLN Energi Primer Indonesia (PLN EPI) is leveraging the country’s biological residue to accelerate Net Zero Emission goals through its Accelerated Renewable Energy Development (ARED) program. Meanwhile, PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) is incorporating materials such as rice husk, cocopeat, and sawdust into its operations to reduce fossil fuel dependency. Simultaneously, the nation is strengthening its power supply to accommodate industrial and digital needs. This includes connecting manufacturing facilities to the grid in Cirebon and developing new capacity in Batam, where a combined cycle gas turbine power plant project is being designed to enhance regional energy resilience. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: Indonesia expands energy infrastructure for industrial growth Indonesia is boosting energy capacity through new industrial connections in Cirebon and the engineering phase of the 120 MW Batam Bintan 1 gas and steam power plant project. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesia-expands-energy-infrastructure-for-industrial-growth ### 2026-09-22: Indonesian companies expand biomass use for energy transition Indonesian firms PLN EPI and PT Semen Indonesia are scaling up biomass utilization, such as rice husks and organic waste, to drive energy transitions and support circular economies. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesian-companies-expand-biomass-use-for-energy-transition --- Cite as: Indonesia energy sector and infrastructure development.
