Surabaya, Indonesia Sentinel — Surabaya, the capital of East Java, has been selected as a pilot city for energy transition and efficiency efforts in Indonesia. The city officially launched its building sector decarbonization program on April 16, 2025, under the Sustainable Energy Transition in Indonesia (SETI) initiative.
Surabaya was chosen for transition energy model city considering its considerable energy-saving potential, existing green building certification framework, rapidly growing construction sector, and the capacity of local stakeholders to manage energy transition projects.
“For these reasons, Surabaya is being positioned as a showcase for energy transition and building sector efficiency through SETI. We aim to ensure its economic growth goes hand in hand with decarbonization efforts, creating a low-carbon and sustainable urban environment,” she added.
The agreement was made with other state-owned bodies, such as the Indonesian Battery Corporation, to build the Battery Energy Storage System by 2022. However, no information has yet been revealed about the Battery Energy Storage System’s location or specific functions.
