Expression of interest for energy transition stream

With Indonesia’s demand for energy predicted to grow rapidly in the short- to medium-term, the transition to sustainable energy remains a high priority for the country. In response, the Indonesian government has set a target to lift the contribution of renewables to its energy mix from 11% to 23% by 2025. Identifying new sources of energy will be fundamental to Indonesia’s economic growth, particularly in regional and remote communities, whilst the country’s net zero emissions ambitions will require innovative and new technological approaches.

Western Australia is well placed to support Indonesia to explore new and renewable energy sources through its world-class energy expertise, strong environmental social governance (ESG) frameworks, and leading technology solutions. Our State’s expertise in delivering standalone power generation solutions to remote communities could also be used in identifying effective energy solutions across the Indonesia archipelago.

Similar to Western Australia, Indonesia has a large endowment of critical minerals which is driving its ambition to become a global electric vehicle and battery manufacturing hub. The development of Indonesia’s battery industry also presents an opportunity for Western Australian businesses engaged in: critical mineral technology and capability, battery chemical production, energy storage systems and battery recycling technology.
