Pursuing 6 Percent Growth by 2027, Government Spurred Green Energy and Digitalization

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – The government places green energy and digitalization as the two main drivers to pursue 6 percent economic growth by 2027. The availability of affordable clean energy and digital infrastructure is considered important to attract investment while meeting the electricity needs of industry and data centers.

Spokesperson for the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Haryo Limanseto, said that achieving this target requires national investment growth of 8-9 percent, with capital investment requirements of around IDR 2,218 trillion to IDR 2,258 trillion.

"The government is committed to orchestrating the energy transition and digital development as twin engines to drive sustainable economic growth," said Haryo in a written statement, Sunday (4/10/2026).

According to him, these two sectors need to be developed in an integrated manner so that Indonesia has an investment climate that is able to compete globally.

"The synergy between the availability of affordable clean energy and the acceleration of digital infrastructure is the main key to creating a globally competitive investment climate while accelerating the achievement of long-term growth targets," he said.

Electricity needs are projected to continue to increase

The Coordinating Ministry for the Economy said that Indonesia's electricity needs are projected to reach 700–800 terawatt-hours (TWh) by 2030. This increasing need demands a reliable electricity supply, including to support industrial growth and data centers.

The government links meeting this need to President Prabowo Subianto's direction to increase renewable energy-based generating capacity to 100 gigawatt peak (GWp).
