Hi, we’re back! And we just released our latest volume of The Reformist! This time we’re tackling Prabowo’s 100-gigawatt solar energy dream. Ambitious? Very. Can we achieve it? Maybe. But we definitely can get behind the idea, with some notes: Read up thinkpolicy.substack.com/p/suns-out-pan…

Also- the recent LPDP debates make us think of this article we wrote 2 years ago... Strangely familiar- still relevant even in today's context thereformist.id/p/to-return-or…

ICYMI, this edition is a continuation of what we've discussed in Vol. 24: Decentralization. In that previous edition, we examined why Indonesia's decentralization feels like a myth- active politically, but why not economically? Read up: thereformist.id/p/the-myth-of-…

A meeting with PM Modi might have set a new trajectory for Indonesia’s energy future. President Prabowo pledged to add 100 GW of solar energy to our mix over the next decade, inspired by India’s 40-fold capacity growth. Can Indonesia really add 100 GW of solar in a decade? ☀️
