Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves), Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, gave the latest news regarding electricity exports to neighboring Indonesia, Singapore.

Luhut said the electricity to be exported to white lion countries is green electricity from the New Renewable Energy Development (EBT) with a capacity of up to 2 gigawatts (GW).

"That was said that the first 2 gigawatts, yes, but it could develop," said Luhut to the media crew, Thursday, September 5.

Despite providing additional space for export quotas, Luhut ensured that the government would still take into account domestic electricity supply so as not to interfere with national electricity.

"We also have to see domestic needs, right? Don't export everything. We won't have any later," explained Luhut.

Regarding the investment value of electricity exports, Luhut said that taking into account the current industrial development, Indonesia could earn tens of billions of dollars.

Not only that, Luhut also said that Indonesia plans to build a domestic solar panel industry to support the provision of green electricity.

On the same occasion, Luhut also said that Indonesia is building a hydroelectric power plant (PLTA) with a capacity of 9 gigawatts (GW) in the green industrial area in North Kalimantan.

"Currently we are building a 9 GW hydropower plant combined with solar panels, and this will also be a new breakthrough for Indonesia," he concluded.
