Every year, National Electricity Day (NED) serves as a key moment to reflect on how the electricity sector shapes the nation’s future. In 2025, the spotlight falls on energy security and the urgent transition towards clean and renewable energy.
For Indonesia, electricity is more than a resource. It is the foundation of the economy, the driver of innovation, and a reflection of sustainability.
Challenges in the Electricity Sector
As national energy demand grows, several challenges must be addressed:
- Heavy reliance on fossil fuels, which impacts the environment.
- Significant investment needs for renewable energy transition.
- Global demands for low-carbon operations.
- Equitable energy access, especially in remote regions.
Without anticipation, these challenges could weaken economic competitiveness and worsen environmental risks.
The Role of Standards and Verification in Reliable Energy
To overcome these challenges, standards and verification systems are essential. Through laboratory testing, environmental audits, and energy management certification, Indonesia can ensure that its power supply is:
- Safe for communities.
- Efficient in energy use.
- Environmentally responsible, aligned with global commitments.
- Resilient, ready to face technological and regulatory change.
