Indonesia's primary energy consumption grew by 5.9 percent in 2016. BP data shows that Indonesia's energy consumption reached 175.04 million tonnes oil equivalent (MTOE), up from 164.83 MTOE the previous year.
As a result, national energy consumption has more than doubled in the last 20 years, increasing from only 86.13 MTOE in 1997. The rising number of motor vehicles, the increasing number of factories, the demand for lighting, and other factors have led to a continuous increase in energy consumption.
Indonesia's energy needs are projected to reach 412 MTOE in 2025 and 1,030 MTOE in 2050. At the end of 2016, oil still dominated the national energy supply, amounting to 72.6 MTOE or 41.5 percent of total needs. By 2050, the need for oil is targeted to be only 20 percent. Meanwhile, New and Renewable Energy (NRE) will reach 31 percent of national energy needs.
