Looks like this all has been placed on the back burner from an article the other day.
As a member of the research team for the Indonesian-Australian Renewable Energy Super-grid, what is your vision for Indonesia’s renewable energy development?
What I found interesting is that Australia wanted to establish a grid connection with Singapore. The energy challenge is enormous, and if Indonesia does not understand that, we will only be left out of this. Other countries plan on increasing the percentage of renewable energy sources, and they have come out of the fossil-fuel cradle.
The opportunity to connect an Australian-Indonesian super grid has entered our minds. But is it a priority? As long as there are many other options available, this super grid is going to be postponed. Logically, northern Australia can help electrify eastern Indonesia, but this will be another discussion in the political sphere.
