Why is solar energy important in Indonesia?
The economic aspect of solar energy, particularly the cost of solar panels, plays a critical role in its adoption. This price reduction is crucial for the decarbonisation of Indonesia’s energy sector and signifies solar power’s role in the global climate transition.
Could foreign companies be involved in Indonesia's solar power growth?
The project was a joint venture between Indonesia’s state utility company and Masdar, a United Arab Emirates-based renewable energy company. It highlights the potential for foreign companies to be involved in Indonesia’s solar power growth and signals a favourable regulatory and economic climate for investors.
How much do solar panels cost in Indonesia?
Across the world, the cost of solar panels is declining, and Indonesia is no different. The price of solar modules dropped from USD 4.12 per watt in to USD 0.17 per watt in . This translates to lower costs for solar energy, which are around USD 0.04 per kWh.
Could solar and wind be the backbone of Indonesia's energy transition?
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.
How much does solar energy cost?
This translates to lower costs for solar energy, which are around USD 0.04 per kWh. This is already lower than the average cost of coal energy, which ranges from USD 0.05 to 0.07 per kWh. The economic aspect of solar energy, particularly the cost of solar panels, plays a critical role in its adoption.
Could solar power be the backbone of a competitive energy transition?
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.
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 and project financing structures used in the study.
