Indonesia Power Sector
Taiyou Research, July 2011, Pages: 70
Indonesia, an island nation located in the South-East of the Asian continent greatly depends on oil, gas, and coal for electricity production. Coal and oil are the top providers for fulfilling the power needs of the country with gas and hydro following close behind. Its thermal generation is expected to only grow promptly in the coming five years. Indonesia would have done well for itself by being self-sufficient in developing just the required amount of electrical power but its attempts were thwarted due to the Asian financial crisis of the late nineties.
Before the crisis had hit, Indonesia had been aiming to open up its power sector to the independent power producers (IPPs). The nineties fiscal fallout led to considerable amount of financial stress on the state utility firm known as Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) which got so debt ridden that it had to annul the contracts it signed with the IPPs. Due to this, the country still suffers from power shortage despite of having superfluent amount of electricity generated. But this hasn't brought all hopes down as PLN aspires to raise an ample amount of financial budget in order to meet with the ever increasing demand for electricity. For this, Indonesia plans to build over 90 power plants in the coming years. The government plans to generate almost 10 GW of electrical power as a part of its 'Fast Track' program. It hopes to achieve so in collaboration with the IPPs.
It is predicted that if the plan is met with success then Indonesia will account for almost 2.51% of Asia Pacific regional power generation by the year 2015. Since the country has plenty reserves of coal, oil and gas, it is not too dependent on imports for its requirement of resources for power generation. Therefore, this can be looked upon as a huge advantage for a country trying to expand its power output. It's also anticipated that Indonesia's plans for a greater electricity production could take a toll on its market share which may be set for a fall. The country also aspires to open its very own nuclear plant but is taking it slow at the time, apprehensive of biting off more than it can chew.
There are many reasons as to why Indonesia didn't quite progress the way it should have considering the amount and quality of resources under its possession. Its inordinate bureaucracy makes it a difficult place to do business. Corruption is again a major issue that the country is still dealing with. If the country decides to make the best of the opportunities it's provided with then it can be seen prospering in the long run. With some reformations and amends, Indonesia can very well set itself for being a force to reckon with on the global horizon.
