AKARTA: Indonesia should expedite the development of renewable energy industries to meet growing electricity demands, Greenpeace said in a statement on Saturday.
“Greenpeace believes that clean, renewable energy is crucial for genuine development.”
“Our message is clear: Sustainability and economic development go hand-in-hand.

Greenpeace made the statement on Saturday after it installed a 1 kilowatt solar-wind hybrid energy system at Mansinam Island in the regency of Manokwari.
