Yayasan Indonesia CERAH and the Institute for Policy and Development (Poldev) Unitrend, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) launched our latest report titled "Public Perceptions of the Early Retirement Policy of Coal-fired Power Plants in the Energy Transition." To better understand the opinions of the local community around coal-fired power plants regarding the planned early retirement by the Government through the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).
The study was conducted in three regions: PLTU Cirebon-1, PLTU Pacitan, and PLTU Pelabuhan Ratu. The study's findings indicate that 85% of the population residing in the vicinity of coal-fired power plants in these three regions do not rely on their income from coal-fired power plant activities.
