The role of solar PV in Indonesia will extend beyond replacing coal-based electricity generation; it will also include the production of e-fuels for hard-to-abate segments,
The Indonesia Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) recently released its "2025 Indonesia Solar Outlook" report, revealing that as of August, the country''s installed photovoltaic capacity reached 717.71 MW.
In addition to this, Indonesia has eased restrictions on the import of solar modules, with a new policy allowing solar power projects to import equipment until June 2025,
In light of the increasing number of co-located intermittent renewable and energy storage projects in Indonesia, MEMR 5/2025 includes specific provisions setting out the
The tool calculates an IRR of 16.44%, and a pay-back period of 6 years. IEA estimated that in 2019, Solar PV installations in Indonesia had an LCOE of 80 US$/MWh. This compares with an IRENA estimate of the worldwide average of 60 US$/MWh in 2019, falling to 48 US$/MWh in 2021.
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.
BNEF estimates the current LCOE of a PV-plus-energy storage (PVS) system in Indonesia is $113-251/MWh (real 2020) and already cost-competitive against diesel, which can be as pricey as $200/MWh in remote areas due to high fuel costs. PVS systems are likely to become cost-competitive against new coal and gas plant within the decade.
This implies an overall capacity of 5,544 MW, of which Solar PV is expected to contribute 1,631 MW (29.4%) by 2025. In the RUPTL 2021–2030, planned solar PV capacity addition is increased to 4,680 MWp by 2030 (compared to 0.9 GWp in RUPTL 2019–2028 and the latest published capacity of only 139 MW in 2021).
Regulation 6/2020 issued by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing stipulates that 5% of the water surface at dams can be used for floating PV projects. PJB Investasi estimates that this translates to 4.3GWp of floating PV potential in Indonesia.
Enhancing transparency through a clear PV procurement program: Indonesia currently carries out tenders to procure power capacity, primarily through state-owned utility, Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). The current power procurement process is opaque, limiting competition and price discovery.
