Yayasan Indonesia CERAH, together with the Center for Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS), has launched its latest report that accelerating the early retirement of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) while simultaneously replacing them with renewable-energy based power plant would bring enormous economic benefits.
Modeling studies with this scenario at PLTU Cirebon-1, PLTU Pelabuhan Ratu, and PLTU Suralaya resulted in a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of up to Rp 82.6 trillion. The report titled "Anticipating the Economic Impact of Early Retirement of Coal-fired Power Plants" is a follow-up study previously launched in July 2023 as part of research related to a just energy transition in Indonesia.
