Graphic of the week

5 October 2026 – Captive power plants are built by industrial facilities to supply their own operations. In Indonesia they are overwhelmingly coal-fired, clustered around the nickel smelters of Sulawesi and North Maluku. Captive coal adds an additional 60% on top of reported coal generation, driven by industry demand. Mandating the limit of coal use in the captive power sector could accelerate Indonesia’s green economic ambitions.

Essential insights for navigating the electrotech era

Clean electricity

Rapid growth of clean electricity led by cheap solar and wind is replacing fossil fuels in the power sector, and beyond through electrification.

Clean Flexibility

Stronger investment and better planning for electricity grids is crucial to unlock the full benefits of clean power

Electrification

Powering transport, homes and industries with electrotech like EVs and heat pumps is more efficient than fossil alternatives and reduces import dependence.

Our Vision

A clean, electrified energy system for all

Ember envisions a global energy system that is cheaper, cleaner, more efficient and more secure, bringing affordable energy to all. Abundant clean electricity – led by solar and wind – will allow other sectors to electrify, modernising transport, industry and beyond.

About Us

“Ember provides an essential service in making global, comprehensive data on electricity systems openly available and free for everyone. This is the data we need to track the energy transition, and what progress is – and isn’t – being made in moving towards our climate targets.”

Dr Hannah Ritchie
‍Deputy Editor, Our World in Data

“Ember’s report on global electricity trends and what it means for Southeast Asia was a great example of how data-led insights can help to inform a public audience and support the energy transition in the region.”

“By releasing the ‘Asia Data Transparency Report’, Ember has not only provided us with crucial insights but also ignited a much-needed debate in Pakistan. Their data transparency report has provided us an opportunity to initiate a conversation with government departments and relevant entities to consider making their data publicly available and accessible.”
