Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Usai Meets President Prabowo, Immediately Replace PLTD

Jakarta - Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia conveyed the results of his meeting with President Prabowo Subianto to reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Thursday, March 12.

One of the things reported by Bahlil was the development of the New Energy, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation Task Force. The main discussion was the plan to convert vehicles from gasoline to electricity.

According to Bahlil, it is possible that after the 2026 Lebaran holiday, his party can only take more concrete action. One of his targets is to shut down Diesel Energy Power Plants (PLTD) with solar fuel.

PLTD will later be replaced with PLTS through geothermal so as to minimize the use of fuel. The government is currently trying to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
