clacke: inhibited exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪đź‡đź‡°đź’™đź’›> The [Global Energy Monitor (GEM)] report shows Indonesia had 18.8 gigawatts of coal power considered under construction by the end of 2022.> This amount exceeds all other countries except China and India. It’s also nearly half of Indonesia’s current coal capacity, which stands at 40.6 GW.
> Most of these new coal plants, 13 GW or 69%, will be “captive” plants, meaning they won’t feed into the grid, but will instead be dedicated to powering industrial or commercial consumers. These include the aluminum smelters and nickel and cobalt processing facilities that the government is promoting to turn Indonesia into a global hub for the electric vehicle (EV) and battery supply chains.
