JAKARTA – The Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (part of Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources) recently honored 157 stakeholders who have taken part in national renewables and energy conservation development with the EBTKE Award.

Among the awardees was Korintiga Hutani (KTH), who won the category of Bioenergy Power Plant Developer. KTH’s Director Jung Seyong received the award on behalf of the firm Tuesday (12/17).
Yuliot Tanjung, Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, underscored the role of local and global collaboration in renewables endeavors. That being said, the EBTKE Award is held to recognize and celebrate those involved in the collaboration and energy conservation work.
“We congratulate all the winners for their achievements. May the awards encourage more inventions, innovations, and inspiration. Let us see this feat as a milestone in our journey to show a sustainable, progressive Indonesia,” said Tanjung in his speech after participating in an award handover.

Clean energy development is part of President Prabowo’s Asta Cita missions to ensure energy self-sufficiency, said the Director General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation, Eniya Listiani Dewi.
“We must support and carry out the mandates of the [Energy and Mineral Resources] Minister and Deputy Minister to realize our President’s vision of energy self-sufficiency. As he [Prabowo] always says, we need to self-produce for three things: food, energy, and water.”
Dewi then echoed Tanjung’s statement, stressing the importance of synergy and collaboration with other parties to develop and fully harness eco-friendly power sources. And the EBTKE Award, she added, is the government’s way to acknowledge the ongoing energy partnerships.
“We also highly appreciate the ongoing partnerships and have prepared 157 awards for all renewables and energy conservation subsectors, including geothermal, bioenergy, and other environmentally-friendly energy generation, energy infrastructure provision, and energy efficiency.”
The 2024 EBTKE Award, or the 2024 EBTKE Stakeholder Performance Appreciation Night, is an award-giving and synergy-building event for major players in the sector. (PR)
