Who We Are
Connecting stakeholders across sectors to accelerate a sustainable energy transition.
The Indonesian Renewable Energy Society (METI/IRES) is a non-profit organization established on May 11, 1999, initiated by intellectuals, government officials, private sector representatives, and professionals concerned about the continued reliance on fossil fuels and its impact on environmental sustainability and national energy security.
METI serves as a national platform bringing together scientists, educators, regulators, business developers, NGOs, renewable energy associations, and other stakeholders to exchange ideas and address strategic and practical issues related to renewable energy development and utilization in Indonesia.
Why We Exist
METI was founded out of concern over fossil fuel dependency and the recognition of Indonesia’s vast yet underutilized renewable energy potential.
The Challenge
Unabated fossil fuel consumption has accelerated environmental degradation, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and posed risks to national energy security. At the same time, Indonesia possesses abundant renewable energy resources that remain significantly underdeveloped.
Our Response
METI is committed to serving as an independent and credible forum that promotes evidence-based policymaking, strengthens cross-sector collaboration, and advocates for the sustainable development and utilization of renewable energy for present and future generations.
