The country is focusing on energy transition and renewable energy development, including large projects like the Hydroelectric Power Plant in Kayan and Mamberamo. The government is moving towards carbon neutrality by prioritizing solar, hydro, geothermal, and hydrogen power plants, while also planning to phase out coal-fired plants and adopt low-emission technologies.
