ABSTRACT
This chapter examines Indonesia's energy trilemma. First, the Indonesia's energy equity policy goals are energy subsidies to its plan for increasing its power grid capacity. Second, energy security is broken down to its national energy plan, as well as fossil fuel and renewable energy opportunities. Third, the country's environmental sustainability is challenged by its increasing reliance on coal for power generation. The chapter discusses the challenges faced by Indonesia's energy sector. It examines the risks that exist to keep Indonesia's policies of managing its energy trilemma from being successful. As Indonesia faces its energy trilemma, it appears that the government is giving more weight to both energy equity and energy security, over environmental sustainability. Indonesia's energy equity is constrained by its energy subsidies as well as the reliance on coal for its energy grid expansion.
