# Indonesia Thermal Power Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Fuel Type, Plant Technology & Ownership Model, 2025-2032

---

## Market Overview

# CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview

The Indonesia Thermal Power Market operates across PLN-owned generation, PLN generation subsidiaries, independent power producers, private power utilities, and own-use licensees. Indonesia produced about **494.4 TWh of electricity in 2025**, of which approximately 415.9 TWh came from steam, gas, and diesel generation. This scale keeps thermal assets central to system adequacy despite accelerating renewable investment. 

Java-Bali remains the principal thermal generation and demand hub because it concentrates large industrial loads, major cities, integrated transmission assets, and several multi-gigawatt power complexes. Paiton Energy alone operates **2,045 MW** and produces approximately 13,500 GWh annually, while large facilities in Banten, Central Java, and East Java reinforce Java-Bali's baseload role. 

Government policy is simultaneously preserving system reliability and tightening the environmental framework for fossil generation. Phase Two of power-sector carbon trading began in 2025 with approximately **454 generating units across 153 companies and 61.40 GW of capacity** covered by the planned participation framework. Compliance therefore increasingly affects dispatch efficiency, operating strategy, retrofit economics, and emissions-management expenditure. 

The strategic direction is a managed transition rather than immediate thermal displacement. The current PLN planning framework calls for **69.5 GW** of generation and storage additions through 2034, with 52.9 GW allocated to renewable energy and storage and 16.6 GW to fossil capacity. Thermal operators consequently face lower long-term mix share but continued absolute demand for flexible gas and dependable baseload generation. 

## KPIs at a Glance

* Market Value: USD 26,000 Mn (2025)
* Dominant Region: Java-Bali
* Dominant Segment: Natural Gas-Fired Generation (fastest growing)
* Total Number of Players: 153

## Future Outlook

The Indonesia Thermal Power Market is projected to expand from USD 26,000 Mn in 2025 to USD 36,341 Mn by 2032, representing a forecast CAGR of 4.90%. Growth moderates from the 6.93% historical CAGR recorded during 2020-2025 because renewable generation, storage, interconnection, and carbon constraints progressively reduce thermal generation's share. Absolute thermal output nevertheless continues expanding as industrial electricity demand, captive generation, grid reliability requirements, and flexible gas-fired dispatch offset gradual coal-mix erosion. The current power plan retains 16.6 GW of fossil additions, including a materially larger gas component, supporting continued investment in dispatchable capacity. 

The composition of profit pools is expected to shift from pure coal-led baseload growth toward high-efficiency coal operations, combined-cycle gas generation, flexibility services, fuel optimization, emissions compliance, and industrial captive supply. Gas has a particularly important strategic role because the current plan provides 10.3 GW of new gas capacity versus 6.3 GW of coal capacity through 2034. Thermal operators that improve heat rates, availability, carbon intensity, biomass co-firing capability, and contractual fuel security should retain stronger economics as the system absorbs more intermittent generation. The forecast therefore assumes value growth exceeding thermal volume growth as technology and compliance intensity increase.

## Frequently Asked Questions

# CHAPTER 12 - FAQs

#### Q: What was the size of the Indonesia Thermal Power Market in 2025?

**A:** The Indonesia Thermal Power Market was worth USD 26,000 million in 2025. The estimate covers generator-level value associated with coal, natural gas, and oil or diesel thermal electricity from PLN, generation subsidiaries, IPPs, private power utilities, and licensed own-use generators. ESDM's ownership-based 2025 dataset indicates approximately 415.9 TWh of thermal generation, with coal-fired steam plants accounting for the largest share. The estimate excludes renewable generation, transmission and distribution revenue, fuel mining revenue, and unrelated EPC activity to prevent scope inflation and double-counting.

**Data used:** USD 26,000 million market value in 2025; 415.9 TWh thermal generation in 2025.

**So what:** Indonesia remains one of Southeast Asia's largest addressable thermal-generation value pools despite an accelerating renewable transition.

#### Q: How large could the Indonesia Thermal Power Market become by 2032?

**A:** The market is projected to reach USD 36,341 million by 2032, representing a 4.90% CAGR for 2025-2032. Growth is slower than the 6.93% historical CAGR because renewable generation and storage increasingly capture incremental capacity additions. Absolute thermal output still rises as electricity consumption, industrial processing, captive generation, and balancing requirements expand. The value forecast also assumes increasing contributions from flexible gas generation, higher-efficiency technologies, environmental controls, maintenance services, and carbon-compliance expenditure rather than simple replication of the existing coal fleet.

**Data used:** USD 36,341 million in 2032; 4.90% CAGR for 2025-2032.

**So what:** Future value creation shifts toward efficient and flexible thermal assets rather than undifferentiated baseload capacity additions.

#### Q: Where is the main profit-pool shift occurring in Indonesian thermal generation?

**A:** The principal profit-pool shift is from incremental conventional coal capacity toward combined-cycle gas, operating-efficiency services, environmental retrofits, and industrial captive solutions. The current PLN planning framework contains 10.3 GW of gas additions compared with 6.3 GW of coal additions through 2034. Gas plants can increasingly monetize ramping, system balancing, and lower relative carbon intensity, while existing coal plants must compete through heat-rate improvement, high availability, co-firing capability, and low-cost fuel procurement. Captive industrial operators create an additional modernization market outside traditional PLN dispatch.

**Data used:** 10.3 GW planned gas additions; 6.3 GW planned coal additions.

**So what:** Investors should differentiate between legacy thermal volume and technology-enabled dispatchable capacity with stronger transition economics.

#### Q: What is the largest strategic risk for thermal power operators in Indonesia?

**A:** The largest structural risk is declining thermal share as renewable energy, storage, and carbon regulation scale simultaneously. Renewables and storage represent 52.9 GW, or 76%, of planned generation and storage additions under the current PLN framework. Carbon trading is also expanding across the thermal fleet, with the 2025 Phase Two framework covering approximately 454 generating units representing 153 companies and 61.40 GW. Operators with high heat rates, poor availability, weak fuel security, or limited environmental-control capability therefore face increasing dispatch, compliance, and refinancing pressure.

**Data used:** 52.9 GW renewable and storage additions; 61.40 GW carbon-market-covered capacity framework.

**So what:** Asset-level efficiency and carbon intensity increasingly determine long-term competitiveness, not installed capacity alone.

#### Q: How does Indonesia compare with major Southeast Asian thermal power markets?

**A:** Indonesia is the largest market in the report's selected peer benchmark, ahead of Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Standardized 2025 datasets show Indonesia generating more electricity than these peers, while fossil generation remains a high share of its mix. Vietnam offers faster modeled thermal growth because electricity demand is expanding rapidly, whereas Thailand and Malaysia are comparatively mature. Indonesia's combination of domestic coal supply, large-scale industrial demand, substantial captive generation, and a deep utility and IPP asset base gives it the strongest overall thermal revenue pool within this comparison.

**Data used:** 1st peer ranking; 371.5 TWh standardized 2025 electricity generation benchmark.

**So what:** Indonesia offers scale, while investors must balance that scale against a faster transition in its future generation mix.

#### Q: What demand factor most strongly supports thermal generation through 2032?

**A:** Industrial electrification is the strongest demand-side support because manufacturing, mineral processing, smelting, and industrial estates require high-load-factor electricity and dependable supply. Indonesia's electricity consumption per capita reached 1,584 kWh in 2025, while PLN industrial customer sales were approximately 95.1 TWh before accounting for a substantial captive-generation segment. Thermal generation remains especially important where large industrial loads cannot yet rely entirely on variable renewable supply. Growing grid interconnection and storage reduce thermal share but do not eliminate the need for firm dispatchable capacity.

**Data used:** 1,584 kWh per-capita electricity consumption in 2025; approximately 95.1 TWh PLN industrial sales.

**So what:** Industrial corridors remain priority locations for gas, high-efficiency thermal, captive-power modernization, and firming solutions.

#### Q: Which thermal technology is positioned most favorably during the transition?

**A:** Combined-cycle gas turbine technology has the strongest incremental positioning because it can provide dispatchable capacity, faster ramping, and lower direct emissions intensity than conventional coal generation. The current planning framework assigns 10.3 GW to new gas capacity, and the 1,760 MW Jawa Satu Power project demonstrates the integrated LNG-to-power model already operating at scale. Ultra-supercritical coal technology and efficiency retrofits remain relevant for existing baseload assets, but new value creation increasingly centers on flexible generation that complements solar, wind, hydro, storage, and stronger inter-island transmission.

**Data used:** 10.3 GW planned gas capacity; 1,760 MW Jawa Satu Power capacity.

**So what:** Technology flexibility and efficiency are becoming more important than fuel type alone in investment screening.
