Assuming the Chair of ASEAN 2023, Indonesia is expected to be able to encourage all ASEAN Member States to bring about energy transition more aggressively. It is more like re-living the spirit of last year's G20 Presidency, when the energy transition was also a priority issue.
Energy transition is an increasingly actual issue over the next few decades and has become a commitment of the international community.
With abundant potential for renewable energy resources, Indonesia is considered to be able to play a bigger role in energy transition at the regional level. Aligned with its position as the Chair of ASEAN 2023, Indonesia can become a benchmark for energy transition in the Southeast Asian region.
Previously, Coordinating Minister for the Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that the ASEAN Leaders' Declaration on Developing Regional Electric Vehicle Ecosystem was the first initiative document to serve as a guide for cooperation and collaboration to develop a safe, efficient, and sustainable electric vehicle ecosystem in ASEAN.
According to Airlangga, Indonesia has made a roadmap on renewable energy, also for digital and EV (Electric Vehicle) which will be combined with renewable energy, whether it is based on hydro or solar energy.
