“…The results also state that the viability variable in the Indonesian labor industry has a direct effect on the balance of business sustainability. This is in accordance with research (Mori, 2020) which states that the process of economic viability in the employment industry will create a workforce that is able to adapt to the renewable energy transition, thus creating a significant balance of business sustainability. According to the results of the study, the renewable energy transition variable has a direct effect on social and environmental considerations.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of renewable energy transition variables and economic viability in the Indonesian employment industry on the balance of business sustainability through social and environmental development as an intervening variable. The subjects of this study are small, medium, and large industry owners in Indonesia, totaling 5,993,566 business units. The variables in this study are independent variables, namely the variables of renewable energy transition and economic viability in the Indonesian labor industry, while the dependent variable is the balance of business sustainability, and the intervening variable is the variable of social and environmental considerations. The results of the data analysis are made through SEM analysis through SMART PLS 4.0 software. From the results of existing research, it is concluded that partially renewable energy transition variables and viability variables in the Indonesian labor industry have a direct effect on the balance of business sustainability and social and environmental consideration variables. Simultaneously, the renewable energy transition variable and the viability variable in the Indonesian labor industry indirectly affect the business sustainability balance variable through social and environmental considerations as intervening variables. With the renewable energy transition process, it will have an impact on people's good social lives because there is no threat of environmental damage or natural disasters, so the environment is safe, the industry creates a technology transfer process, and it increases economic viability in the labor industry in Indonesia in order to create quality human resources. With this transition process, trained human resources are needed and are also able to adapt well to the transition process and technology transfer in order to balance the sustainability of industrial businesses.

“…The investigative journalist Viriya Singgih offers a good illustration of those networks of interconnections between the coal industry and the policymaking environment (Singgih, 2022). These observations are also shared in scholarly sources, which also report good connections between the coal industry and the political sphere (Mori, 2020;Ohlendorf et al, 2022;Ordonez et al, 2021). Past observations indicate that coal industry actors have rather high capacity to mobilize assets, such as money as well as people, especially at key positions in the governance sphere; past publications point to a powerful lobby propping up the fossil fuel system (Ohlendorf et al, 2022;Singgih, 2012).…”

Indonesia, the world’s third largest coal producer after China and India, committed to becoming a “net-zero” economy by 2060 at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow in 2021. However, reaching this objective will be difficult, given the importance of coal for both the country’s economy and power generation, but also necessary. Included in the many challenges are diverging visions of stakeholders as to how and sometimes whether to phase out coal usage, and how to follow a “just energy transition” pathway. This paper, based both on a desk review of scientific and other literature and on in-country stakeholder consultations, explores how those diverging visions and priorities might hinder a coal phase-down and, in the end, a phase-out of coal in Indonesia. In addition to exploring those visions, the report also sheds light on the socio-economic barriers to a truly just energy transition in the country.

“…PLN has a substantial fiscal dependence and relies on budget subsidies for 21 % of its operating revenues [59]. f. Foreign actors Foreign actors can influence the speed and direction of energy transitions in Indonesia by facilitating knowledge transfer, providing technological and financial resources, addressing policy, institutional, and regulatory barriers, and creating industrial networks [60]. Programmes such as MENTARI, for example, is led by the British Embassy in collaboration with MEMR, which aims to deliver inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in Indonesia through the development of low carbon energies.…”

“…Foreign actors could also hinder renewable energy transition with their own investments in fossil fuels. For instance, China's resource provision has previously generated policy effects that were fastening the transition towards a coal-based electricity system [60]. This situation is predicted to massively change in the future with China's decarbonisation policies which projected to slash coal import from Indonesia [64].…”
