The share of electricity in the final energy
consumption has been steadily increasing from
6.2% in 2000 to 11.8 % in 2016. Between 2000 and
2016, the electricity consumption has grown at an
average rate of 6.5%, from 79 TWh in 2000 to 216
TWh in 2016. The electricity consumption was
supplied by 59 GW power plant in 2016, an
increase from the 37 GW in 2000, which
translated to an average annual growth of around
3.0% per annum. Indonesia's electricity is
generated using fossil fuels (coal, natural gas,
crude oil) and renewable energy sources
(hydropower, geothermal, and other R.E: solar
PV, wind). Figure 1-6 shows the development of
power generation by types of energy sources. In
the period of 2000-2016, the electricity
generation that have experienced high growths
were geothermal ( 11% per annum) and coal
(9.0% per annum). Hydropower, gas fuelled and
oil-fuelled power plants grew annually at a rate of
6%, 5% and 4%, respectively. The high growth of
coal plants had resulted in significant increase of
coal share in the power generation mix, from
37.3% in 2000 to 54.7% in 2016. Despite the high
growth, the share of geothermal in power mix
was still low, i.e. 4.3% in 2016. Overall, the
renewable fuel accounted for around 12% of the
total electricity generation in 2016.
