In addition, she said, the focus of the government led by President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka is developing investment in renewable energy transmission and infrastructure, as well as optimizing energy efficiency.
"We can reduce 32 percent emissions just through energy efficiency," she highlighted.
Energy self-sufficiency was one of the topics emphasized by President Prabowo in his inaugural speech.
He expressed concern that geopolitical tensions and wars, which can break out at any time, can threaten Indonesia's energy supply, so it must try to meet its own energy needs.
