>Engage ESDM’s Energy Transition Task Force to register interest in solar capacity expansion or motorcycle EV conversion pilot programs
>Prepare technical documentation for IEC/IEC 62133 and SNI certification of EV batteries and solar inverters ahead of mandatory local testing rollout (expected Q4 2025)
>Partner with Indonesian universities (e.g., ITB, UI) on joint R&D proposals aligned with ESDM’s three priority areas—submit via Ministry of Higher Education portal by 2025 deadline
English Summary
President Prabowo has directed Indonesian universities to support national clean energy transition priorities: solar power expansion (targeting 100 GW), electric vehicle adoption (120 million motorcycles), and electric stove rollout to replace LPG. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) leads implementation via a newly formed Energy Transition Task Force. While no new tax laws or direct compliance deadlines are announced, foreign businesses in solar equipment, EV battery tech, smart grid solutions, and energy-efficient appliances must align with ESDM’s R&D coordination framework and upcoming policy instruments. JETP funding (US$3.1 billion) is available for qualifying projects. Companies should engage early with ESDM and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to co-develop standards, access pilot programs, and prepare for future regulatory incentives or subsidy-linked procurement rules expected within 2027–2028.
