Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Indonesia

Vertically integrated utilityOne utility does everything

Coal supplies about 60% of power across many separate island grids.

  1. GenerationState utility
  2. TransmissionState utility
  3. DistributionState utility
  4. CustomersGovernment-set tariffs

Who regulates

No separate independent regulator is listed: the government or the utility itself sets tariffs and technical rules.

Who controls the grid

State-owned PLN runs transmission and distribution and buys from independent producers, under the energy ministry.

Markets & power exchanges

No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.

Regional grid

  • ASEAN Power GridRegional grid

    Participant in the ASEAN Power Grid initiative, which is gradually linking Southeast Asian grids for cross-border trade.

What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?

A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
