About Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR)

The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) is a homegrown, prominent Indonesian think tank dedicated to accelerating the nation’s transition toward a low-carbon energy system through rigorous, evidence-based advocacy and scientific research. By bridging the gap between technical modeling, such as pathway towards zero emission by 2050 and actionable public policy, IESR provides the strategic guidance necessary for government agencies, private sector, and non-governmental actors to embrace sustainable energy solutions. Beyond its role in data-driven analysis, the institute serves as a vital catalyst for capacity development and multi-stakeholder collaboration, ensuring that Indonesia’s shift to renewables is not only technologically sound but also socially equitable and economically resilient. Headquartered in Jakarta with local offices in Semarang and Denpasar, IESR remains at the forefront of shaping a sustainable and inclusive energy future for the Indonesian people.
