KARAWANG - President Prabowo Subianto stated that the energy self-sufficiency target in Indonesia will be achieved in a relatively short time, namely in the next five to six years.
This was conveyed in a speech while attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Integrated Electric Vehicle Battery Industry Ecosystem project in Karawang, West Java, Sunday, June 29.
"I was told by experts that our nation can truly self-sufficiency in energy and my calculations are not long. 5 years, 6 years at the latest, we can self-sufficiency in energy," said Prabowo.
The Head of State explained that one of the keys to national energy independence is the use of electrical energy sourced from solar power.
In this case, said the President, the battery technology, which will be produced in Karawang, is a vital component to store and distribute the energy effectively.
"Electricity from solar power is the battery and today we are watching it," he said.

In the report received by the President, the current capacity generated at the facility has only reached 15 gigawatts. However, to achieve full energy independence, Indonesia needs around 100 gigawatts.
"This means that we need to multiply projects like this. And I believe, this nation is capable of implementing them," said the President.
