JAKARTA – Top thermal coal exporter Indonesia, one of the world's largest carbon emitters, is aiming to reduce coal-fired power to 33% in its energy mix by 2040 and increase the share of renewable energy production to 42%, a senior minister said.

President Prabowo Subianto this week said Southeast Asia's biggest economy plans to retire all coal and fossil fuel power plants within the next 15 years to help reach net zero emissions before 2050, a decade earlier than previously targeted.

Indonesia would need investment of $235-billion to achieve that goal, as it needs to build renewable energy plants with 75 GW capacity and 70 000 km of transmission lines, Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said in a statement issued late on Wednesday.

Indonesia's current installed power capacity is more than 90 GW, with about 55% of that powered by coal and less than 15% by renewable sources.
