The government expects to attract more environmentally friendly investment in the energy sector with the 35,000-megawatt (MW) expansion program currently being promoted to investors.

The expectation will be put forward at an international conference titled the “Tropical Landscape Summit: A Global Investment Opportunity”, which will facilitate the country’s transition into a green economy to ensure a sustainable future.

The summit is expected to draw around 500 top business executives from national as well as international companies on April 27 and 28 in Jakarta.

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo is slated to officially open the event with multi-stakeholder engagement hosted by the Indonesian government in collaboration with the UN Office for REDD+ Coordination in Indonesia (UNORCID).
