## Geopolitical and Climate Pressures
Geopolitical tensions and climate disasters create dual challenges for Indonesia's energy security.
## Global Energy Price Risks
US-Iran conflict since March 2026 raises global energy prices and strains fossil fuel-dependent nations.
## Climate Impact on Power Systems
Aceh floods in late 2025 and severe weather in May 2026 disrupted electricity across Sumatra.
## El Nino Effects
El Nino events since June have strained Indonesia's power grid, with a three-year cycle now observed.
## Coal Supply Challenges
Coal transport via rivers faces disruption due to reduced water levels from El Nino.
## Renewable Energy Investment Gap
Indonesia needs $100 billion for renewable energy infrastructure but currently invests only $2-3 billion annually.
## Korea's Energy Strategy
South Korea targets 100 gigawatts of solar and wind power by 2030, requiring 14 gigawatts annually.
## Key takeaway

Indonesia faces energy security risks from geopolitical conflicts and climate events.
