IDXChannel - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has informed that Indonesia's energy security is now in the resilient category.
Director General of New, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) at the ministry Eniya Listiani Dewi said that the category was determined based on four parameters—availability, accessibility, affordability, and acceptability.
"In the four parameters, we are in the resilience category," Eniya said in Jakarta, Tuesday (5/11/2024).
She added that Indonesia's average score for each of the four categories is 6.64 points, and the nation is still facing challenges--for instance, in developing environmentally friendly energy--in pursuing its goal of zero carbon emissions (net zero emissions/NZE) by 2060, in keeping with the Paris Agreement.
To address the challenges, the ministry has implemented several strategies, including pursuing energy efficiency and optimizing electrification through the uses of electric vehicles, she informed.
