Indonesia, Sweden Explore Renewable Energy Cooperation

Kuta, Bali (Antara Bali) - Indonesia and Sweden are holding a two-day discussion in Kuta, Bali, from Thursday to Friday, to explore cooperation in the field of renewable energy, according to Energy Minister Sudirman Said.

While opening the discussion on Thursday, the energy and mineral resources minister noted that cooperation in the field of renewable energy between the two countries has immense significance as they have potential sources of energy and technology.

"Sweden does not have fossil resources and reserves of oil and gas, but with its technological innovations, the country can provide electricity, which is more than half of what Indonesia generates," Sudirman remarked here on Thursday.

He noted that during the two-day meeting, the countries will discuss cooperation through government-to-government and business-to-business schemes.

"Sweden has experience in renewable energy, so we want to learn from the country," the energy minister added. (WDY)
