EBT Balance Throughout 2025 Reaches 15.75 Percent
JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) recorded a mix of Renewable Energy (RE) throughout 2025 at 15.75 percent.
This success is marked by the record of the largest EBT plant capacity addition over the past five years to reach 15,630 MW.
In detail, the capacity is dominated by the Water Power Plant (PLTA) which contributes 7,587 MW, followed by bioenergy at 3,148 MW, and geothermal energy at 2,744 MW. In addition, the contribution from other energy sources is also continuing to grow, including solar energy at 1,494 MW, coal gasification at 450 MW, wind at 152 MW, and waste utilization at 36 MW, and other sources at 18 MW.
"Actually, the addition of EBT is quite large in 2025, but if converted into a percentage decrease because there is an addition (generator) from gas and coal," said Bahlil, quoted Friday, January 9.
Bahlil said this achievement was achieved amid uncertain global challenges.
"Actually I want to convey that 2025 is a year full of trials and dynamics, there is a lot of happiness and sadness. But for us, every challenge is where we must be present in order to show what the target of the President is," he said.
Meanwhile, specifically for electricity, the achievement of the EBT mix has exceeded the target set in the National Electricity Master Plan (RUKN).
"If it is specifically in the electricity sector, it (the EBT mix) has been achieved 16.3 percent. That is above the RUKN which only targets 15.9 percent," said Director General of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Eniya Listiani Dewi.
On the investment side, the EBT and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) subsectors showed resilience with a realization of US$ 2.4 billion. Macroeconomically, the energy and mineral resources sector remains the backbone of state revenue with a PNBP achievement of IDR 138.37 trillion (108.56 percent of the target), which reflects effective and sustainable management of energy resources.
