\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBali’s future as a sustainable destination is being challenged by climate change, tourism pressure, and an energy system that still leans heavily on fossil fuels.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhile national and global strategies are important, in Bali, some of the most promising solutions are coming from the ground up – through local innovators, community partnerships, and clean technology designed with real people in mind.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTwo Bali-based startups, Volto Sea and Leastric, have received Rp100 million each in pilot funding from Matangi Bali – a clean energy initiative by New Energy Nexus Indonesia, in collaboration with CAST Foundation, IESR, and WRI Indonesia, under the umbrella of the Koalisi Bali Emisi Nol Bersih.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoth startups are piloting their solutions in Sanur, a coastal hub that\u2019s becoming a focal point for the development of a Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) – a designated special economic zone. As Sanur pushes for economic growth, the challenge is clear: how to balance investment with sustainability, and progress with preservation.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fossil Fuel Dependence Persists<\/b><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDespite Bali\u2019s strong environmental narrative, the island remains largely dependent on fossil fuels. As of 2019, 69.7% of Bali\u2019s electricity demand – roughly 1,320 MW – was supplied by local fossil fuel-based power generation, with around 30% met through coal-powered imports from East Java. In 2022, renewable energy contributed less than 2% of Bali\u2019s total electricity mix. (Source: Global Energy Monitor Wiki)\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis presents a significant challenge, particularly in high-consumption sectors such as tourism and transport.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLeastric, an energy tech startup, is addressing inefficiencies in the tourism sector by implementing smart energy monitoring systems in hotels throughout Sanur. The system enables real-time tracking of electricity use, helps identify high-consumption devices, and generates carbon footprint reports.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
