Bahlil Invites Investors to Build Green Energy-Based Data Centers in Indonesia

The government is also running a solar power generation program with a capacity of 100 GW which is targeted to be completed in three years.

"This is not just a theme, a concrete program was immediately created," stressed Bahlil.

It is hoped that the development of clean energy generation will not only strengthen the national electricity system, but also support the growth of digital industry, downstreaming and new economic activities.

Economic Growth is Considered to Support Investment

Apart from energy potential, the government offers economic stability and the size of the domestic market as investment attractions.

Bahlil said that the Indonesian economy continued to grow above 5 percent in the second quarter with inflation of around 3 percent amidst global geopolitical uncertainty.

With a population approaching 300 million people, the need for energy and digital services in Indonesia is expected to continue to increase.

The government encourages data center investment to go hand in hand with the development of renewable energy generation and strengthening the national electricity system.

"If you want to invest, now is the moment. This is the right timing. Now don't ask about natural resources, but I ask all of you, are you serious or not about investing in Indonesia?" he said.
