Despite an energy transition scenario, Indonesia's coal needs are projected to increase over the next decade.

This projection is recorded in the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2025-2034 document, published by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in June 2025.

According to the document, the Indonesian government currently has a scenario called Accelerated Renewable Energy Development (ARED).

ARED contains targets for reducing fossil fuels and adding more renewable energy than in the normal scenario. However, coal still holds the largest share in the national energy mix.

Based on the ARED scenario, in 2025 Indonesia will need 135 million tons of coal to produce 233,068 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity.

Then in subsequent years, along with plans to increase electricity production, Indonesia's coal needs are projected to gradually increase to reach 157 million tons in 2034, a 16% growth compared to 2025.

"The RUPTL scenario still shows an increase in the capacity of fossil fuel-based power plants, including the continued construction of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) according to project planning, both ongoing and committed," said Pri Agung Rakhmanto, Founder & Advisor of the Reforminer Institute, in his opinion article on Katadata.co.id (June 10, 2025).

"This is inseparable from the current real conditions of the national electricity system, where during the 2020-2024 period, the role of fossil energy, especially coal, is still important," he said.
