Indonesia is said to have the potential to lead the energy transition due to its several advantages in the clean energy sector. Indonesia has 40% of the world's geothermal potential (24 GW), solar energy 3,286 GW, wind energy 155 GW, hydroelectricity 95 GW, bioenergy 57 GW, and ocean energy 20 GW.
Furthermore, Indonesia also holds 42% of global nickel reserves for battery production and energy storage systems. Indonesia is said to have the potential to become a regional renewable energy hub in ASEAN, with strategic advantages across the global clean energy technology supply chain.

In line with this potential, METI (Indonesian Renewable Energy Society) and MAASKEI (Indonesian Energy Conservation and Efficiency Society) initiated the 12th IndoEBTKE ConEx 2025 at PIK 2, from November 26-28. This event is supported by five other associations in the renewable energy sector, including AESI, AEAI Indonesia, GBCI Indonesia, APPLTA, and MEBI.
METI Chair III, Widi Pancono, stated that this event is more than a platform for knowledge exchange, but also a space to open up opportunities for green growth and encourage strategic collaboration across sectors and countries. He emphasized the importance of innovative financing in accelerating renewable energy.
"Through IndoEBTKE ConEx 2025, we are encouraging synergy between the public sector, the national private sector, and international partners. We want to build a clean energy ecosystem that is globally connected, inclusive, and resilient," Widi explained in a written statement on Saturday (July 26, 2025).
The theme of this event is "Positioning Indonesia as a Regional Green Powerhouse to Support Indonesia Emas 2045." MASKEEI Chairperson Andhika Prastawa stated that this theme aligns with the government's agenda to encourage the energy transition.
Previously, IndoEBTKE ConEx held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to map out several guiding questions that explored crucial aspects of Indonesia's energy transition. First, it explored the concrete outcomes that EBTKE ConEx 2025 should deliver to the industry, as a step to ensure the forum produces implementable outputs.
Second, it discussed the active role of the private sector in supporting the implementation of the Green Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL), considering that achieving renewable energy targets requires strong synergy between the government and the private sector.
Third, it identified regional opportunities that could strengthen Indonesia's role and position in an era of increasingly closer ASEAN economic integration. Fourth, it analyzed the key obstacles that might hinder progress in the energy transition and strategies to overcome them.
This FGD successfully brought together key players from various industries, from traditional energy to renewable energy technology, from multinational corporations to innovative startups, from policymakers to strategic investors, including relevant associations and government institutions such as embassies.
"Given the success of the previous EBTKE ConEx in 2023, we have summarized various discussion points in a Whitebook and recommended it to stakeholders—that's the spirit we continue to carry through this platform," said Eka Satria, Chair of the 12th IndoEBTKE ConEx 2025 Committee.
Held in November, the 12th IndoEBTKE ConEx will feature keynote speakers from global leaders, panel discussions with experts, showcases of the latest technologies, and networking sessions that facilitate the formation of strategic partnerships.
