Indonesians are in favor of an early shutdown of coal-fired power plants to achieve the country’s target for the reduction of carbon emissions, according to a survey from the Center of Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS).

The survey results published on Wednesday show that a large majority of the 1,245 respondents agree with plans to accelerate the closure of coal-fired power plants, even though only a minority know about the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), which provides funding for the coal phase-out.

Among those that are aware of the JETP, support for the coal phase-out is very high, with 89 percent in favor, but even among those that do not know about the funding program, 62 percent want coal-fired power plants off the grid sooner rather than later.
