In this paper, we conclude that Indonesia has vast potential for generating and balancing solar photovoltaic (PV) energy to meet future energy needs at a competitive cost.
The primary challenges for wind energy development in Indonesia include site selection, infrastructure development, and high initial investment costs. Many of the best wind resources are located in remote or
The SAM also estimates energy production and energy costs for solar PV systems connected to the grid to calculate the capital cost, total capital cost, fixed operating cost, annual energy (year
The recent identification of over 333 GW worth of financially viable renewable energy projects presents an unprecedented opportunity for Indonesia to transform its energy
- Can Wind Power Contribute to Indonesia''s Push for Renewable Energy? - What Are the Biggest Wind Power Projects in Indonesia Currently (Or Soon-to-Be) Under Construction? - Which
This report analyses Indonesia''s Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2021-2030 and the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) investment plan (CIPP).
Study identifies 333GW of financially viable renewable energy projects in Indonesia The capacity includes 165.9GW of ground-mounted solar power, 167GW of onshore
The levelised cost of electricity produced from most forms of renewable power continued to fall year-on-year in 2023, with solar PV leading the cost reductions, followed by
This adjustment means that solar power projects can rely more on imported products during equipment procurement and construction, especially key equipment such as
IESR''s findings indicate that approximately 61 percent of the 333 GW of potential renewable energy projects, equivalent to about 206 GW, have EIRR rates exceeding 10 percent, based on prevailing tariff regulations
Indonesia''s goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and it is aggressively advocating for solar energy, which includes the implementation of new methods such as
State-run electricity company PLN is planning to establish communication with global solar panel manufacturing companies to attract investment and build factories in
The report indicates that as of August 2024, there are 16.92 GW of announced solar projects in preparation nationwide, with an anticipated addition of 350 GW to 550 GW of solar capacity by 2050. It also noted that
Solar in particular can make a significant contribution. The technology''s quick development time and declining costs could enable Indonesia to meet its 23% renewable energy target by 2025

Indonesia Solar Energy Outlook 2025 highlights the crucial role of solar power in improving Indonesia''s energy security. The report analyzes how solar PV can help reduce dependence on fossil energy, improve the reliability of electricity
RGE and TotalEnergies have entered into a co-investment agreement to develop, build, and operate a solar photovoltaic power plant with a battery energy storage
Indonesia needs to attract US$146 billion in near-term renewable energy investment to meet the country''s 2030 climate target. Current policies and onerous contractual requirements towards
What is the cost of utility-scale solar PV generation in select Southeast Asian countries? The cost of generation for utility-scale renewables across Southeast Asia depends on multiple factors
Investment in clean energy has accelerated since 2020, and spending on renewable power, grids and storage is now higher than total spending on oil, gas, and coal. As the era of cheap
Indonesia is taking a major step forward in its clean energy transition with a US$600 million investment from the World Bank, dedicated to expanding solar and wind
As the results of this study, we have constructed a simple tool that calculates the cash flow of a typical project, and then computes levelised cost of electricity (LCoE), internal rate of return
The partners had previously signed a Co-Investment Agreement to develop, build and operate a hybrid renewable power plant comprising a solar farm, Battery Energy Storage System
Emerging Technology Trends Advancements in energy storage, smart grids, and hybrid renewable systems are shaping the future of Indonesia''s energy landscape. For example, integrating battery storage with
Wind energy growth in Indonesia requires a concerted effort from government bodies, private sector stakeholders and international partners. By addressing the challenges of infrastructure, investment and regulation,
The government should signal unwavering support for international investment in the renewables, and update the regulation on rooftop solar that boosts return on investment for domestic households. International
While capital costs for all generation technology in India and China are mostly lower than the global benchmark, the capital cost of solar and wind in Indonesia is still in the higher end,
Understanding the true cost of renewable energy In theory, renewable energy is cheaper to produce than fossil fuels, but the way total energy costs are calculated is complex and involves
An often-heard discussion point is that wind energy is not progressing enough in Indonesia because there are insufficient investment funds available.
Investments and development attraction: The potential position of wind energy as one of the technologies crucial for Indonesia’s energy transition, could be used as a motive to obtain land-use priority or land acquisition.
However, advancements in energy storage technology, such as battery energy storage systems and grid-forming inverters, could enable solar and wind, together boasting a technical potential of 3.4 TW, to serve as the backbone of Indonesia’s energy transition.
According to BBSP KEBTKE, the wind energy potential of Indonesia amounts to 155 GW, consisting of 60.6 GW onshore wind and 94.2 GW of offshore wind. Nevertheless, at the time of writing, there is only 154.3 MW of onshore wind farm installed capacity; this corresponds to less than 0.1% of the total potential.
Despite its vast renewable potential, solar and wind projects in Indonesia have been slow to scale. As of 2024, the country had less than 300 MW of solar and about 150 MW of wind capacity. ISLE-2 aims to shift that trajectory and aligns with Indonesia’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 and full electricity access nationwide.
Wind potential (>6 m/s) is mainly found in NTT, South Kalimantan, West Java, South Sulawesi, Aceh and Papua. The potential of marine energy is spread throughout Indonesia, particularly in Maluku, NTT, NTB and Bali. The potential for new renewable energy in the predictable category is still being calculated.
