Jakarta. Indonesia has signaled that the Singapore-bound green electricity exports will not take place anytime soon, as Jakarta grows more protective of its domestic supplies.
Indonesia has planned to supply at least 3.4 gigawatts (GW) of green power to Singapore by 2035 to narrow the gap caused by the neighbor’s limited land area and renewable energy sources. The fellow ASEAN nations have been working on the approvals and necessary frameworks for the first electrons to be able to flow into Singapore.
Amid the bad haze and natural gas export cuts, the Indonesian government revealed Monday that it was reconsidering the plan.
“To this day, we are still evaluating the stages of the electricity exports to other countries. Our domestic electricity demand is pretty huge. I doubt the export will happen in the near future,” Chief Energy Transition Minister Bahlil Lahadalia told reporters, while avoiding mentioning Singapore by name.
