JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has succeeded in converting 100 units of fuel-driven motorcycles into electric motors. Now ESDM is continuing the conversion of 1000 units in 2022.
At the ceremony for the conversion program for fuel-driven motorcycles into electric motors in Jakarta, Thursday, March 17, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif targeted the conversion of 13 million motorcycles by 2030.

At the ceremony that was held this afternoon, the result of the conversion of a fuel-driven motorbike into an electric motorbike had a mileage of 40 km/kWh.
The change in fuel from BBM to battery power is expected so that people can save the costs they spend on buying fuel and the cost of changing their vehicle's oil.

For this reason, we are also targeting in 2030 the capacity of renewable energy generation to reach 31.4 GW with the construction of new EBT plants in PLN's Green RUPTL 2021 - 2030 of 20.9 GW, "said Arifin.
