Indonesia has significant geothermal resources (world's second-largest) and hydropower, but remains heavily coal-dependent. No nuclear power.

SSS Relevance

⭐⭐ Medium — Indonesia has moderate SSS potential:

  • No nuclear (under discussion for future)
  • Significant geothermal (2nd largest globally, ~2 GW)
  • Hydro resources available
  • Coal dominance (~60%) drives high grid intensity
