- Capping power sector emissions at 290 megatons of CO2 in 2030, down from baseline value of 357 MT CO2.
- Establishing a goal to reach net zero emissions in the power sector by 2050, bringing forward Indonesia’s net zero power sector emissions target by ten years.
- Accelerating the deployment of renewable energy so that renewable energy generation comprises at least 34 percent of all power generation by 2030, which would roughly double the total renewables deployment over the course of this…
