According to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) report, Indonesia's installed capacity of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) reached 42.1 gigawatts (GW) in 2022.

This capacity increased by 5.1 GW or grew by 13.8% year-on-year (yoy), the fastest growth among other types of power plants.

In 2022, the installed capacity of new and renewable energy (EBT) power plants only increased by 1 GW or grew by 8.7% (yoy).

The installed capacity of gas/steam/gas engine power plants (PLTG/GU/MG) increased by 0.7 GW or grew by 3.35% (yoy).

Meanwhile, the capacity of diesel power plants (PLTD) did not grow at all in the last year.

Cumulatively, over the past six years, the growth of PLTU has also been the strongest.

Here's a breakdown of the growth in Indonesia's installed power plant capacity from 2017 to 2022:

* PLTU: increased by 11.3 GW or grew by 36.7%
* PLTG/GU/MG: increased by 3.9 GW or grew by 22%
* EBT Power Plants: increased by 3.1 GW or grew by 32.9%
* PLTD: increased by 0.6 GW or grew by 13.6%

According to Bloomberg NEF, Indonesia has the highest growth in PLTU capacity among G20 members.

However, this is not a commendable achievement on a global scale. Bloomberg NEF is urging countries to curb the use of PLTU to reduce carbon emissions from coal combustion.

"It is crucial for countries to phase out coal-fired power if they want to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement," said Bloomberg NEF in its Climate Policy Factbook COP27 Edition (November 2022) report.
