Indonesia, Denmark Expand Energy Partnership with Focus on Renewables and Green Technology

---

JAKARTA, investortrust.id — Indonesia and Denmark have agreed to strengthen and expand their strategic energy cooperation, marking ten years of collaboration in renewable energy and energy efficiency. This renewed partnership aims to accelerate green technology development and support Indonesia’s transition to a more sustainable energy future.

The agreement was formalized through the signing of an amended protocol and three new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between businesses from both countries. Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia and Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Lokke Rasmussen led the signing ceremony in Jakarta on Monday, April 21, 2025.

The cooperation builds upon the Indonesia Denmark Energy Partnership Programme (INDODEPP), originally launched in 2015, and now extended to include more comprehensive initiatives. The third amendment to the MoU on renewable and clean energy, and energy conservation, is designed to scale up ongoing collaboration and introduce new technologies for energy efficiency and low-carbon power solutions.

“This MoU renewal represents an extension of what we started a decade ago. Over the past ten years, the Indonesian and Danish governments have achieved significant milestones in energy collaboration, particularly in the development of renewable energy,” Bahlil said during the signing event.

Bahlil highlighted Denmark’s leadership in wind power technology and its longstanding expertise in renewable energy management. He expressed confidence that the partnership could significantly contribute to Indonesia’s efforts to expand the use of renewable energy sources, known domestically as energi baru dan terbarukan.

Lars Lokke Rasmussen emphasized that the partnership with Indonesia was not a short-term measure, but rather the result of long-term diplomatic and economic relations. “I am pleased that our close collaboration is not just a reaction to recent developments, but a continuation of efforts we began many years ago,” he stated.

As part of the expanded cooperation, three MoUs were signed between Indonesian state-owned power companies and Danish renewable and nuclear firms:

The Danish companies involved, including wind turbine giant Vestas and nuclear technology provider Saltfoss Energy, stand to play a central role in Indonesia’s efforts to boost energy security while reducing carbon emissions.

This expanded cooperation also supports Indonesia’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, while aligning with Denmark’s global commitment to the green transition.
