JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The public’s interest in switching to clean energy has become a positive sentiment for investors to capitalize on in the energy sector. However, clean energy programs need to be promulgated further and supported by funding schemes so that renewable energy becomes widely accessible to people in their daily lives.
The public’s positive response was summarized in a report compiled by the Kompas Research and Development division based on a poll titled "Are the People Ready? Transformation and Application of New Renewable Energy, Digital Economy and Green Investment”. Being intended as part of Kompas’ contribution to Indonesia's Group of 20 presidency, the report was submitted to Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in Jakarta on Wednesday (19/10/2022).
