China’s rapid advancements in renewable energy technology are not only transforming its own energy landscape but also offering significant opportunities for international collaboration. In a recent interview with CGTN host Enoch Wong, Alland Dharmawan, an assistant at the Indonesian Presidential Advisory Council, shed light on how China’s progress in solar, wind, and hydro energy could benefit Indonesia and the broader region.
“China’s innovation in renewable energy has reached a level where it holds great potential for export,” Dharmawan remarked. “For countries like Indonesia, which are looking to enhance their sustainable energy infrastructure, partnering with China could accelerate our progress.”
Dharmawan emphasized the mutual benefits of collaboration. “Indonesia has abundant natural resources suitable for renewable energy, and China’s expertise and technology can help us harness these effectively. This partnership could lead to a win-win situation for both nations.”
The discussion also addressed concerns about alleged overcapacity in China’s renewable energy production. Dharmawan considered this a natural phase in the development of new technologies. “Overcapacity can be seen as an opportunity rather than a setback,” he explained. “It allows for greater availability of technology at potentially lower costs, making it accessible to developing countries.”
He concluded by highlighting the importance of regional cooperation in tackling global energy challenges. “By working together, we can not only meet our own energy needs but also contribute to global efforts in combating climate change.”
China’s strides in green technology and its potential collaborations with countries like Indonesia underscore the shifting dynamics in the global energy sector. Such partnerships could pave the way for a more sustainable and interconnected future.
