Indonesia is positioning itself to leverage its green energy resources—particularly wind, solar, and hydropower—to enter the European market amid the ongoing U.S.-China tariff war. Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia highlighted Indonesia’s comparative advantage in renewable energy at the Global Hydrogen Ecosystem Summit & Exhibition 2025, emphasizing the country’s potential to generate up to 3.6 terawatts of hydropower. If fully developed, this could create around 300,000 jobs and bring in as much as US$70 billion in foreign exchange. Lahadalia framed the recent trade tensions, including the 32% tariff imposed by the U.S. on Indonesian goods, as a strategic part of global trade rather than a crisis. He called for respectful political and economic dialogue, stressing the importance of mutual respect among nations. While several ASEAN countries were hit with high tariffs, Indonesia was granted a 90-day implementation pause, giving it time to strengthen alternative trade partnerships, particularly in green energy.Source: https://en.antaranews.com/news/351893/indonesia-eyes-eu-market-for-green-energy-amid-global-trade-war (ICE GIACARTA)
