The presence of IKN, which is projected to use environmentally friendly energy, will not necessarily make it easier for East Kalimantan to get rid of dependence on fossil energy. Many challenges need to be answered and cannot be separated from central policy.

In the first semester of 2023, the mix of renewable energy sources in Kaltim is expected to be around 10 percent. This means that Kaltim needs to increase the use of EBT by 2.3 percent in several districts and cities to reach its target. However, several challenges still loom over Kaltim in achieving these targets.

Fitriansyah states that currently, Brida Kaltim is researching how solar power plants can be utilized by residents at a cheaper price. Therefore, not only can solar power plants be used in village or office settings, but also at the household level. In addition, there is potential for geothermal energy in East Kalimantan. However, after research, the temperature of geothermal energy in East Kalimantan ranges from 50-60 degrees Celsius. This figure is still far from the minimum geothermal heat source requirement of 300 degrees Celsius.

The government is asked to clarify the concept of energy transition. If this energy transition is to avoid a climate crisis, the policy made should be in line with it. Because the energy for electric vehicles still comes from nickel and coal, deforestation will continue to occur.Amidst these challenges, the Kaltim region has been declared as the Nusantara Capital City , covering an area of approximately 250,000 hectares across parts of Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara.

Retno stated that electric vehicles are indeed less polluting. However, the energy sources for electric vehicles come from coal and nickel mining which also has an impact on the environment. According to Retno, the opening of the nickel smelter land in Teluk Balikpapan alone has reduced mangrove coverage.

Retno believes that the transition to renewable energy sources must be viewed comprehensively, which is a policy of the central government. In the draft law on renewable energy that is currently being discussed in the parliament, for example, new energy sources including nuclear energy and other energy sources are listed.
