Emission Impact between Coal-Fired and Renewable Energy Power Plant Development: Evidence from Indonesia

Global warming is a problem that demands global attention, one of which is CO
2
emissions. The Indonesian government has a strong commitment to reducing emissions from year to year. In the last two years, 2021-2022, the government through the State Electricity Company (PLN) has built and plans to build a 1399 MW renewable energy plant. And until 2060, it is planned that the new renewable energy generating capacity will reach 586.4 GW. The operation of renewable energy plants of 1399 in 2021–2022 and 586.4 GW in 2060 will reduce CO
2
emissions by up to 91.51% and 97.5%, respectively, of the operation of coal-fired power plants.
