This policy brief, also produced by Kontika (2026), examines Indonesia’s ambition to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2060 against the backdrop of a paradox: the country holds one of the world’s largest renewable energy potentials (3,686 GW) yet has realized less than 0.4% of it. The brief contextualizes Indonesia’s NDC commitments and JETP funding ($20 billion), diagnoses systemic constraints including an annual investment gap of ~$27 billion, geographic mismatch between renewable supply and demand centers, and regulatory complexity. It proposes a three-phase strategic roadmap — Acceleration (2025–2030), Scale-Up (2030–2045), and Consolidation (2045–2060) — alongside short-, medium-, and long-term policy recommendations covering regulatory reform, infrastructure investment, green financing, regional energy interconnection, hydrogen economy development, and just transition provisions for affected communities.
