In this episode, we talk with Bagus Mudiantoro, an energy and climate change specialist from Indonesia. Bagus shares insights into Indonesia's transition to renewable energy, focusing on the innovative projects by PLN, the state-owned utility. We explore PLN's ambition to shift from coal to solar, the integration of battery storage, and the country's efforts to reduce fossil fuel consumption. The conversation also highlights the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, particularly in public transport, and the government's supportive policies, including subsidies for electric motorcycles. Bagus emphasizes the challenges and opportunities in Indonesia's energy landscape, from off-grid solar projects to the development of hydrogen refueling stations. Connect with Sohail Hasnie:
