Coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable energy resources that will be depleted if continuously exploited.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia's coal reserves can still be exploited for approximately 62 more years, while natural gas reserves will last for 35 years and oil reserves for 20 years.

The BPS calculates this estimated lifespan based on the ratio between physical stock (reserves) at the end of 2021 and the extraction rate over the past few years.

Despite their relatively short remaining lifespan, Indonesia appears likely to remain dependent on these fossil fuels for the next few years.

Based on the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2021-2030, Indonesia's energy mix will continue to be dominated by coal until 2030.

"The energy mix in 2030 is projected to be 59.4% coal, 15.4% natural gas (including LNG), 24.8% new and renewable energy (EBT), and 0.4% oil-based fuel (BBM)," PLN stated in the RUPTL.

The RUPTL projects that Indonesia's coal-based power generation capacity will increase from 194,558 GWh (2021) to 264,260 GWh (2030).

Natural gas-based power generation is projected to increase from 48,154 GWh (2021) to 68,724 GWh (2030), while electricity based on BBM will decrease from 10,222 GWh (2021) to 1,798 GWh (2030).
