Prof. Purnomo Yusgiantoro spoke at the “Indonesia Green Connect 2025” event held in the East Hall of the Institut Teknologi Bandung on 7 August 2025. During the event, Prof. Purnomo spoke on the topic “Resilience Towards Energy Sovereignty.” For his presentation, Prof. Purnomo discussed the concepts of Indonesian geopolitics and geostrategy, the current status of Indonesia’s energy security, energy sovereignty, and energy resource management.
According to the data from the National Energy Council (DEN), Indonesia’s Energy Security Index score in 2024 was 6.64, or nestled in the “secure” category. However, several indicators had low scores, necessitating improvements. Sovereignty is the supreme power held by a country, institution, or individual over a territory, community, or self, without being subject to any higher authority. In the energy context, energy sovereignty is the right of a state and nation to independently determine energy management policies to achieve energy security and independence. There are currently existing regulatory schemes for this, both upstream and downstream.
