PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo highlighted Indonesia's vast renewable energy potential but noted the challenge of geographic mismatch between renewable energy sources and electricity demand centers. He emphasized that the ASEAN interconnected power grid offers a solution by enabling energy sharing, system balancing, and strengthening regional energy resilience.

At the 41st HAPUA Council Meeting in Labuan Bajo, PLN reaffirmed its commitment to advancing cross-border green electricity integration across Southeast Asia through the ASEAN Power Grid to support energy resilience and accelerate Net Zero Emissions goals. The ASEAN Centre for Energy's Executive Director, Abdul Razid Dawood, stressed the importance of the grid in improving energy accessibility, affordability, sustainability, and carbon emission reduction across member states.

Wanhar from Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources stated that outcomes from the meeting would inform new targets and strategies for the 2026–2030 APAEC phase, focusing on cross-sector collaboration, energy resilience, and an inclusive energy transition. The 43rd ASEAN Energy Ministers Meeting will formalize the Enhanced Memorandum of Understanding for the ASEAN Power Grid.

Darmawan outlined Indonesia’s plans to add 69.5 GW of new generation capacity by 2034, with 76 percent sourced from renewable energy. He called for broad collaboration—across strategy, innovation, investment, and partnerships domestically and internationally—to realize the ASEAN Power Grid, reinforcing that collaboration is essential for success in achieving sustainable energy self-sufficiency.
