Indonesia’s renewable energy projects need better access to financing if they are to move beyond development and into construction and operation, according to the Renewable Energy Society of Indonesia, known as METI.

METI chairman Norman Ginting said many projects developed by the organization’s members had begun moving toward construction and operation. He called for closer cooperation among project developers, technology providers, and policymakers.

Financing will be a central focus of the 12th IndoEBTKE ConEx 2026, which will bring developers together with national and international financial institutions. The event’s organizers aim to connect projects ready for construction with potential investors and financing partners.

Many renewable energy projects developed by METI members are now moving toward construction and operation.

The forum will take place from Sept. 2 to 4, 2026, at JIExpo Kemayoran in Jakarta. It will bring together government representatives, industry participants, investors, academics, and development partners from several countries. Twenty-two companies will sponsor or exhibit technologies covering solar, wind, bioenergy, geothermal power, energy storage, and energy efficiency.
