Agreement, Minister Rosan Confident in Renewable Energy Investment Prospects

JAKARTA, investortrust.id – Minister of Investment and Downstreaming and Head of Indonesia’s Investment Coordinating Board, or BKPM, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani remains optimistic about the future of renewable energy investments in Indonesia, despite the recent decision by the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, following the release of Indonesia’s 2024 investment realization report, Rosan emphasized that Indonesia remains firmly committed to achieving net zero emissions (NZE) by 2060 or sooner. He asserted that this commitment would sustain investor interest in the country’s renewable energy sector.

“We have pledged to achieve net zero emissions in our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) by 2060. The government has a solid plan, and we will stay committed to that,” Rosan said.

He outlined Indonesia’s renewable energy targets, aiming for a 23% energy mix by 2025 and nearly 50% by 2030. These targets align with global trends favoring clean energy solutions, reinforcing the country’s long-term sustainability goals.

To support this transition, the government has prepared substantial financing schemes, including mechanisms to attract foreign investment with competitive yields. Rosan highlighted the increasing demand for renewable energy from industries such as electric vehicles (EVs) and data centers, both of which require sustainable power sources.

“With the growing adoption of EVs and the expansion of data centers that rely on renewable energy, we are committed to ensuring continued progress in this sector,” he added.

The Indonesian government aims to maintain a balance between sustainability and investment attractiveness, positioning the country as a key destination for global clean energy investments.
