When green projects themselves—like Batang Toru—end up damaging ecosystems, the credibility of Indonesia’s energy transition is put at risk. The solution is not to reject foreign investment, nor to abandon renewable energy development. Prabowo must ensure that every company operating in Indonesia—foreign or domestic—adheres to rigorous environmental standards, and that those standards are not negotiable, flexible, or selectively enforced. Prabowo has an opportunity to redefine Indonesia’s development model. The future of Batang Toru should not be remembered only for what was cancelled, but for what Indonesia finally chose to enforce.
