Understanding the Socioeconomic Implications of Indonesia’s Net Zero Energy Transition

This paper examines how Indonesia can achieve 8% annual GDP growth by 2029 while meeting net zero emission commitments through a rapid energy transition. It simulates high-growth pathways propelled by either existing energy systems or the more efficient, low-carbon options laid out in the Comprehensive Investment and Policy Plan for Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership. The analysis shows that early and decisive investment in clean energy is not just compatible with growth, but essential for securing it.
