Sustainable energy for all: Impacts of Sustainable Development Goals implementation on household sector energy demand in Indonesia

Abstract

The present study investigates the impacts of the implementation of the energy goal of SDGs (SDG 7) to national development plans on household sector energy demand of Indonesia. Three scenarios were developed: reference, current policy, and SDGs scenarios, which were simulated using the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning system (LEAP). Results show that providing clean energy access for all Indonesian (Target 7.1 of SDG 7) will increase energy demand by 67 million GJ, by 2030. However, implementation of efficiency measures (Target 7.3) will cancel out this increase. This study also reveals and discusses other interesting findings.
