Led by Shi Xiang, Deputy Director-General and Secretary-General of the Belt and Road Eco-industry Cooperation Working Committee of the All-China Environment Federation, the delegation, together with leading domestic enterprises, conducted targeted business docking. As Indonesia’s state-owned power giant, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) attached great importance to this meeting. Led by Daniel Tambolongan, Executive Vice President for New and Renewable Energy, PLN fully received the Chinese delegation and held in-depth discussions.

Targeted Docking, Embracing New Opportunities for Energy Transition

At the start of the meeting, PLN extended a sincere welcome to the Chinese delegation. In line with Indonesia’s national development agenda, PLN systematically introduced the country’s overall power energy layout, top-level medium and long-term energy transition strategies, large-scale renewable energy development plans, as well as practical needs and development goals for nationwide ecological environmental improvement.

Indonesia is currently in a critical stage of green energy transition. It is vigorously scaling up the development of solar power, onshore and offshore wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy and other clean energy sources, while promoting interregional power grid interconnection and the low-carbon upgrading of traditional power facilities. Supported by long-term power purchase agreements, special industrial support policies and investment incentives, Indonesia has built a sound and long-term guarantee system for overseas cooperation projects in the new energy and environmental protection sectors. PLN stated that Indonesia boasts strong market demand and broad cooperation potential in green energy development. It eagerly hopes to introduce advanced core technologies, mature comprehensive solutions and leading enterprises from China to jointly drive the green, low-carbon and high-quality upgrading of Indonesia’s power industry.

Chinese Solutions Empowering Indonesia’s Green Development

In his address, Shi Xiang noted that as a core economy in ASEAN, Indonesia is a vital strategic partner under the Belt and Road Initiative, featuring strong industrial complementarity and solid bilateral cooperation foundations. Currently, Indonesia is accelerating energy restructuring and green development with booming demands for low-carbon industries. As Indonesia’s flagship state-owned power enterprise, PLN oversees the entire industrial chain of power generation, transmission and distribution, serving as an essential strategic partner for Chinese energy conservation, environmental protection and new energy enterprises to expand into Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
