Fixing the broken governance chain: Aligning private finance with the Paris Agreement

Private FIs’ capital choices shape decarbonisation, yet voluntary pledges and CCIs underdeliver. The report proposes an “impact levers” framework for FIs, CCIs, and regulators to align finance with real-economy goals, embed risk, and prioritize actionable, actor-specific steps beyond net-zero targets.

Tracking Policy Implementation in ASEAN’s Energy Transition: Launch of the Power Policy Tracker

These slides were presented during the webinar held on 17 June 2025 to introduce the Power Policy Tracker, developed under the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) project and hosted on the Southeast Asia Information Platform for the Energy Transition (SIPET).

The Tracker provides a structured overview of policy implementation in the power sector across ASEAN countries, supporting transparency and informed decision-making for energy transition stakeholders.

The presentation includes:
• An overview of the Tracker’s purpose and structure
• Key findings from the initial analysis
• Country perspectives from Indonesia, the Philippines and Viet Nam
• Reflections on how the tool can support policy alignment and implementation

Understanding the Importance of the Energy Transition – A Review from a Community Perspective

In Indonesia, which still relies heavily on coal as its main source of energy, shifting to renewable energy is not an easy challenge. Achieving this goal requires strong planning, substantial investment, and policies that support communities affected by coal reduction.

The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) conducted a study to understand public views on the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) and various new energy technologies. 

Among the technologies studied, solar energy emerged as one of the most affordable and promising sources of energy, especially after significant developments. Read the report to find out more.

Unlocking Indonesia’s Renewables Future: the Economic Case of 333 GW of Solar, Wind and Hydro Projects

This publication examines the potential for renewable energy in Indonesia, which is at a pivotal point in the global energy transition. It highlights Indonesia’s unique opportunity to harness its abundant solar, wind, and hydro resources to drive economic growth, improve energy security, provide affordable electricity and achieve its climate commitments.

The study presents a comprehensive assessment of the country’s renewable energy potential and its economic viability, showing that at least 333 GW of economically viable renewable energy capacity is achievable.

Rethinking Electricity Subsidies to Achieve Indonesia’s Energy Security and Green Economy Targets

This study analyzes electricity subsidy policy in Indonesia in relation to energy resilience, green energy transition, and fiscal sustainability. The study uses three main simulations (BAU and LTES) to evaluate the impact of subsidies on electricity tariffs, fiscal needs, and macroeconomic indicators until 2045. The results show that the current electricity subsidy, while supporting affordability for low-income households, has not yet encouraged productive use of electricity and, in fact, burdens the State Budget (APBN). Transitioning to renewable energy (LTES) can reduce the need for subsidies by up to 42% by 2045.

Accelerating renewable electricity deployment is vital for Indonesia’s net zero goals. This report recommends a regulated joint transmission network utilisation scheme to unlock private investment, enable corporate renewables procurement, and support PLN’s grid plans—positioning Indonesia competitively alongside regional peers like Vietnam and Malaysia in the clean energy transition.
