Indonesia is set to construct 100 GW of solar power plants within two years, necessitating about 100,000 hectares of land. Large plots have been identified, with 67,000 hectares in West Java. The government is exploring state forestry land for potential use.

In addition to solar energy, Indonesia is considering biodiesel and bioethanol production from palm oil, sugarcane, cassava, and maize. Plans also include developing geothermal and hydropower energy. A significant gas field in the Andaman Sea will support energy demand, with a pipeline network proposed for Sumatra and Java. The Abadi field in the Masela block is expected to produce 9.5 million tonnes of LNG annually, alongside pipeline gas and condensate.
