Speaking at the Leaders Forum: “Towards a Green Indonesia” on Tuesday (17/9/24,) Indonesia’s Investment Minister, Rosan Roeslani, said that supporting facilities and governance are necessary to attract foreign investors to put their money in the country’s renewable energy sector, according to reporting from Antara News.
“For them to invest, one of the top priorities is sustainable governance on the environment. For example, if they want to produce electric cars here, its manufacturing must also use clean energy,” he said.
He explained that foreign investors are very selective in choosing their partners, and even the supporting facilities must also use clean energy.
“That is why we encourage the development of industrial estates that is based on clean energy,” he noted.
Antara News says that the government also supports this by offering incentives so that a green energy ecosystem can be established.
The minister said that incentives will attract both foreign and domestic investors to invest in Indonesia’s green energy sector, adding that “This is not because we want to, but we have to do it. Otherwise, we will be left behind by many countries, especially behind our neighboring countries.”
Furthermore, the minister emphasized that the quality of human resources is very important for developing the green energy ecosystem.
He argued that Indonesia’s human resources who understand about green energy is currently not that many. Therefore, vocational education is needed to improve the country’s human resources, especially related to the knowledge of clean energy, reports Antara News.
“Vocational education plays a key role for improving our human resources in the future. Hence, the government sees there is a need for providing incentive for vocational education and training,” he said.
