A report from the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) reveals that the potential of new and renewable energy (NRE) in Indonesia reached 3,687 gigawatts (GW) as of June 2024.

Solar energy has the largest potential, at 3,294 GW. However, its utilization was only 675.1 megawatts (MW) in the same period.

The government states that solar power is most readily available throughout Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Kalimantan, and Riau, which have higher radiation levels.

Wind power, significantly behind in second place, has a potential of 155 GW. Its utilization amounts to 152.3 MW.

Wind speeds exceeding 6 meters per second (m/s) can be a source of energy. This is commonly found in NTT, South Kalimantan, West Java, South Sulawesi, Aceh, and Papua.

Third is hydro or water power, at 95 GW. Its utilization is 6,697.2 MW, the highest among other energy sources. This energy is spread throughout Indonesia, especially in North Kalimantan (Kaltara), Aceh, West Sumatra, North Sumatra, and Papua.

Fourth is ocean energy at 63 GW, spread throughout the Indonesian archipelago, particularly in NTT, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and Bali. There are no figures yet for its utilization.

Fifth is bioenergy at 57 GW. Its utilization is considerable, at 3,408.4 MW. This is spread throughout Indonesia, encompassing primary products, forestry/plantation waste, and industrial waste.

"The types of potential include biofuel, biomass, and biogas," wrote the Ministry of ESDM in its report for the *Katadata Sustainability Action for the Future Economy* (SAFE) 2024 event on Wednesday, August 7, 2024.

Finally, geothermal energy has a potential of 23 GW. Its utilization has reached 2,597.5 MW. This energy potential is spread across the ring of fire region, including Sumatra, Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, and Sulawesi.
