Domestic Financing Encouraged to Support Indonesia's Energy Transition

“The energy transition must answer five main questions: can it strengthen national energy security, support the economic growth target of 8 percent, how much will it cost, is the domestic manufacturing industry ready, and how big will its impact be in reducing our carbon footprint,” said Eddy when opening the activity.

According to Eddy, Indonesia needs a green manufacturing industry, low-emission industry and green jobs. These changes must be accompanied by increasing workforce skills and strengthening the domestic component level.

“We need green manufacturing, green industry and green jobs, which also means the importance of reskilling and upskilling the workforce as well as strengthening the Domestic Component Level,” he said.

Environmental activist Nadine Chandrawinata said Indonesia has large renewable energy resources, including solar energy.

“It is not easy to change our mindset and accept new innovations, but we need to open ourselves up, find out and start taking steps,” said Nadine.

Media Indonesia President Director Arief Suditomo hopes that the documentary will expand public conversation about the energy transition.

“Through the films we create, which have cinematic nuances and are rich in data and perspectives, we hope that the issue of energy transition will become a public conversation and give birth to new ideas,” said Arief.
