CELIOS, in collaboration with Greenpeace, has released the 2026 Village Energy Transition Readiness Index report. It shows that villages in Indonesia continue to face structural challenges and significant regional disparities in their readiness to drive the clean energy transition.
This study measures the readiness of villages and urban wards (kelurahan) for the energy transition across three main dimensions: clean energy initiatives, economic resilience, and village governance capacity, using data from PODES 2021 and 2024. The findings indicate that although village governance has improved, the sustainability of clean energy initiatives and the strength of local economies remain highly uneven.
At the national level, the readiness of villages and urban wards for the energy transition followed mixed trajectories from 2021 to 2024. Several provinces made progress, while most experienced a decline. Urban areas and provinces with large-scale investment, such as Jakarta, saw rapid improvement, while eastern regions and rural areas continued to lag significantly behind.
