JAKARTA - The Director-General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Dadan Kusdiana, explained that the realization of the EBT mix in 2021 was 11.5 percent.

"This number has increased from the position in 2021 with the cumulative figure being 151.6 million barrels of equivalent oil," he said at a press conference on the 2021 Performance Achievements and the 2022 EBTKE Subsector Work Program virtually in Jakarta, January 17.

Although it is still far from the government's target to make new and renewable energy (EBT) the only source of energy in 2060, Dadan is still confident that by achieving the target in 205, he can achieve the target of 25 percent in accordance with the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL).

"For electricity, the RUPTL has only been running for 3 months and PLN has only made initial efforts for this. I am still optimistic about the 23 percent target in 2025," he said.

Meanwhile, for gasoline, it still has not found a substitute for renewable energy.

"We can see these efforts at the end of the year because it has only been running for 3 months since it was issued last October 2021," he said.

Dadan explained, in 2022 there is no explicit target issued by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, especially for the EBT portion. However, based on the General National Energy Plan (RUEN), this year the portion of the NRE mix is targeted at 15.7 percent.

Meanwhile, the realization of new and renewable energy power generation capacity (EBT) until 2021 will reach 11,152 MW. Additional NRE plants include the Poso Peaker PLTA of 260 MW, 3 units of PLTP of 146.2 MW, Malea's hydropower of 90 MW, Bioenergy PLT of 16.5 MW, 18 units of PLTM of 111.25 MW, and 26 PLTS. 08 MW. For 2022, it is targeted that the NRE power plant capacity will increase to 11,791 MW.
