Can solar power plants be used in Indonesia?

Indonesia possesses solar energy potential with a capacity ranging from 3,300 GW to 20,000 GW, spanning from Sabang to Merauke. With increasingly affordable, modular, and easy-to-build and operate solar power plant (PLTS) technology, this project could serve as a strategic solution to provide reliable and affordable energy access across Indonesia.

📌

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 . If implemented effectively, the program could redefine Indonesia’s energy landscape and serve as a global benchmark for large-scale distributed renewables.

📌

Why do Indonesian batteries need a battery energy storage system?

Batteries are required to provide constant electricity supply to renewable energy plants, which are primarily intermittent, such as solar and wind power plants. The agreement was made with other state-owned bodies, such as the Indonesian Battery Corporation, to build the Battery Energy Storage System by .
