Unlocking Indonesia''s Renewables Future: the Economic Case of 333 GW of Solar, Wind and Hydro Projects. Jakarta: Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR).
Alvin Putra Sisdwinugraha, Lead Author of ISEO 2025 and IESR’s Electricity and Renewable Energy Analyst, revealed that solar energy investment in Indonesia has doubled, from USD 68 million in 2021 to USD 134 million in 2023.
The aim of these projects is to diminish Indonesia’s dependence on diesel-generated power in smaller, isolated grids by introducing clean and dependable solar energy sources. Tendered earlier in 2023 by PLN, this program encompasses the delivery of a total of 60MWp of solar capacity and 175MWh of storage capacity.
IESR urges the Indonesian government to accelerate the adoption of energy storage, among others, by first improving the regulatory framework and establishing legal certainty to provide adequate compensation for ESS developers, reduce development risks, and boost investor confidence.
IESR emphasized that a solid understanding and strong commitment from policymakers and energy planners regarding the potential and benefits of solar energy and ESS are essential prerequisites for accelerating their growth in Indonesia’s electricity system.
The growing EV market will necessitate a robust battery ecosystem, including storage solutions for grid integration and charging infrastructure. Indonesia's focus on industrial growth creates a demand for reliable power. BESS can offer backup power, improve power quality, and enable cost savings through peak shaving.
The findings show that solar, wind, and hydro could serve as the backbone of a competitive energy transition. The IESR study Unlocking Indonesia’s Renewables Future: The Economic Case of 333 GW of Solar, Wind, and Hydro Projects highlights 1,500 suitable locations for ground-mounted solar, onshore wind, and mini- and micro-hydro power plants.
