Indonesia memiliki banyak potensi energi baru dan terbarukan (EBT), namun yang baru digunakan masih sangat sedikit. Dirjen Energi Baru Terbarukan dan Konservasi Energi (EBTKE) Kementerian ESDM Eniya Listiani Dewi mengungkapkan bahwa EBT yang digunakan oleh Indonesia saat ini masih tergolong sedikit.

"Indonesia's total EBT potential is 3,687 GW, but the installed capacity is only 14,883 MW, so the potential for new NRE used in the electricity sector is only 0.398% or almost 4% in December 2024," he said at Carbon Neutrality at the Gambir Expo Kemayoran, Friday (14/2/2025).

Potensi sebaran EBT menyebar di berbagai pulau di Indonesia. Rinciannya Sumatra memiliki 1.240,64 GW, Jawa memiliki 696,58 GW, Maluku dan Papua sebanyak 518,46 GW, kemudian Kalimantan sebanyak 517,53 GW, Bali dan Nusa Tenggara 457,17 GW serta Sulawesi 257,36 GW l.

"As for the potential for NRE that exists in our area, what could actually be said to be the NRE barn is Sumatra Island. 34 percent of NRE is found on Sumatra Island. And followed by Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and so on," said Eniya.

Dari paparannya, tenaga surya menjadi yang terbesar dengan potensi 3.294 GW, sedangkan kapasitas terpasang 917 MW, kemudian angin potensinya 155 GW sedangkan kapasitas terpasang 152 MW

Furthermore, water is also one of the NREs with a potential of 96 GW and an installed capacity of 7,066 MW, then sea has a potential of 63 GW with an installed capacity of 0 MW, Bioenergy has a potential of 57 GW with an installed capacity of 3,669 MW, then geothermal has a potential of 24 GW but the installed capacity is only 2,639 MW. "From the potential we have, the biggest is solar. So this is what we want to explore. And we hope there will be quite a lot of bioenergy," said Eniya.
