JAKARTA - The government is speeding up the clean energy agenda through three channels, namely accelerating PLTS, converting electric vehicles, and switching to electric stoves.
Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Mendiktisaintek) Brian Yuliarto said that campuses were asked to support it through research and studies so that dependence on imported fuel and LPG could be reduced.
"I am with the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Secretary of the Secretariat, the Secretary of the Secretariat and the Director of Energy and Mineral Resources related to renewable and clean energy," Brian told reporters at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Thursday, March 5.
The President's directive, continued Brian, the first focus is to accelerate solar cells/PLTS to replace plants that are still expensive, especially diesel-based plants. The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources will be the coordinator, while the campus is asked to back up from the research and study side.
The second focus is to accelerate the conversion to electric vehicles. According to Brian, diesel plants and conventional vehicles are still dependent on fuel.
"We know that in the current situation, fuel prices are high, so the impact is very large," said Brian.
The President asked for acceleration so that dependence on imports and rapid price fluctuations could be suppressed.
Meanwhile, the third focus is to accelerate electric stoves to replace LPG stoves. The target is to reduce dependence on LPG and reduce the burden of subsidies, so that energy stability is better maintained.
When asked where the expensive diesel power plant was mapped, Brian confirmed that more detailed data was at PLN. "PLN will have more complete data," he said.
For the EBT type, Brian said the easiest option to install was considered, with emphasis on PLTS because the installation was fast, could be installed on site, and did not require distribution.
