Indonesia s solar energy storage policy

Will Indonesia deploy 100 GW of solar power?

The new initiative features plans for 1 MW solar minigrids tied with 4 MWh of accompanying battery energy storage, to be deployed across 80,000 villages, alongside 20 GW of centralized solar power plants. The Indonesian government has revealed a new initiative aiming to deploy 100 GW of solar.

What is Indonesia's solar energy plan?

This initiative comes two months after the Indonesian government ratified a plan to add 42.6GW of renewable energy capacity and 10.3GW of energy storage by 2034. The plan aims to support the country’s state-owned electricity company, for which solar PV will make up the bulk of the renewables, with 17.1GW.

What is Indonesia's potential for solar energy?

Indonesia’s technical potential for solar ranges from 3,300 GW to 20,000 GW, according to IESR estimates, while the country’s long-term energy policy targets up to 108.7 GW of solar by 2060. If implemented effectively, the program could redefine Indonesia’s energy landscape and serve as a global benchmark for large-scale distributed renewables.

Will Indonesia build 100GW of solar PV & 320gwh of Bess?

The government of Indonesia has launched a programme that aims to build 100GW of solar PV and 320GWh of BESS in the coming years, mostly distributed across smaller projects in rural areas. The programme will consist of 80GW of solar PV plants and 320GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across 80,000 villages.
