OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF INDONESIAN POWER SECTOR

Kamia Handayani

Abstract

As an emerging economy, Indonesia's economy has been growing fast in recent years. The positive economic growth drives electricity consumption growth. However, the increase of electricity consumption contributes to the increase of greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions. Energy sector is the second main contributors of the national GHG emission, hence, reducing GHG emission from power sector would contribute significantly to the national efforts of reducing GHG emission. This paper identifies opportunities for climate change mitigations in the Indonesia's power sector. The identification is based on literature review on power sector and climate change in Indonesia. It is observed that available renewable energy resources, government policies, climate finance, and low carbon technologies create opportunities for climate change mitigations in the Indonesia's power sector.

Keywords
