Indonesia is an emerging major player in the Asia-Pacific region's power sector, with ambitious plans to increase its share of renewable energy.
London, 24 May 2023 - The Energy Industries Council (EIC), one of the world’s leading energy trade associations, has announced the appointment of its first membership manager in Indonesia, expanding its operations into the Southeast Asian nation.
Azman Nasir, EIC Regional Director for the Asia Pacific region, expressed his enthusiasm for the EIC's expansion into Indonesia, saying, “With the EIC’s expansion into Indonesia, we are well-positioned to support energy supply chain businesses in the country's oil and gas, renewables, and other sectors, and to help them navigate the rapidly evolving energy landscape. This will also help up us to provide better services to its members looking to grow their operations.”
He pointed out that Indonesia is an emerging major player in the Asia-Pacific region's power sector, with ambitious plans to increase its share of renewable energy.
The Indonesian government has set a target to raise the country's renewable energy mix from 9% in 2020 to 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. The country is also the world's largest producer of biodiesel, primarily from palm oil, and the government's policy requires diesel fuel to contain a minimum 30% biodiesel blend, with a goal of 50% by 2025.
The EIC is an award-winning trade association for companies that supply goods and services to the energy industries, with a global network of over 900 member companies operating around the globe. The organization helps its members win business and grow their operations in their home base as well as internationally by providing world-class data, networking opportunities, and working directly with governments and policy makers.
