Chapter heading: Chapter I — Energy Situationer
Key Takeaways
- 2022 was a post-pandemic rebound year — GDP grew 7.6% (fastest in 4 decades), but TFEC grew only 2.4% to 35.9 MTOE, signaling aggregate efficiency improvement.
- Transport dominates end-use demand at 34.4% of TFEC; a 12.2% single-year surge from restored mobility drove it to the top GHG emitter among end-use sectors (+12.3% to 35.4 MtCO₂e).
- Biomass accounts for 57.8% of household energy — cooking fuel is predominantly fuelwood and charcoal; LPG and electricity still account for just 29.5% + 12.3%.
- Coal is 59.6% of power generation — the single largest target for decarbonization policy.
- Malampaya is in terminal decline — natural gas production fell 7.4% to 2.6 MTOE; Ilijan GSPA expired June 2022; natural gas’ 16% generation share will need replacement.
- Self-sufficiency fell to 49.4% (from 50.8%); net imports rose 7.6% to 31.1 MTOE — import dependency worsening.
- Indonesia supplies 97.7% of coal imports — single-source dependency risk for the fuel that powers 59.6% of generation.
- Total GHG: 135.7 MtCO₂e (+4.0%); mitigation measures avoidance 18.1 MtCO₂e (11.8% of hypothetical); demand-side efficiency (EEC+EEF) accounts for 75% of avoided emissions.
- Energy intensity improved 2.6% to 3.1 TOE/MPhP — RA 11285 programs are delivering, but CES target requires 4–6%/yr improvement.
- RE installed capacity well below awarded potential — wind: 427 MW installed vs 45,631 MW potential; solar: 1,530 MW vs 21,413.6 MW — scale-up opportunity is massive.
