Review of Renewable Energy Potentials in Indonesia and Their Contribution to a 100% Renewable Electricity System

Indonesia has an increasing electricity demand that is mostly met with fossil fuels. Although Indonesia plans to ramp up Renewable Energy Technologies (RET), implementation has been slow. This is unfortunate, as the RET potential in Indonesia might be higher than currently assumed given the archipel...
