Solar PV still has significant potential in Indonesia
With a potential capacity of 32.5 GW, Indonesia''s rooftop solar PV, as of June 2023, produces up to 95 MW, with the household sector
In terms of generation potential, Indonesia can achieve 4,705 – 26,791 TWh/year, by taking up 4.34% to 24.43% of the total landmass (depending on the scenario). The results also show that Indonesia's utility-scale solar PV potential is well above (16 to 95 times larger) the current national official estimate, that is 207 GW.
A geospatial assessment of Indonesia's nationwide solar PV technical potential has been conducted using publicly sourced national and international data. The analysis finds that Indonesia's solar PV technical potential capacity ranges between 3,396 GWp up to 19,835 GWp (depending on land-use exclusions scenarios).
Expansion of Solar Rooftops for Households Another major potential is presented by the utilization of rooftop solar PV for households in Indonesia. With a potential capacity of 32.5 GW, Indonesia's rooftop solar PV, as of June 2023, produces up to 95 MW, with the household sector accounting for 72% of the share.
Solar PV accounted for 0.6% of Indonesia's total installed power generation capacity and 0.16% of total power generation in 2023.
Installed capacity is forecast to increase from 2024 to 2035, at which point solar PV is expected to account for 14% of total installed generation capacity. For more detailed analysis of the solar PV sector in Indonesia, buy the report here. The gold standard of business intelligence.
According to IESR, Indonesia's state electricity company, PLN, plans to increase renewable energy generation by adding 7.9 GW of solar capacity by 2033. Additionally, policy changes from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources are expected to add over 5 GW of rooftop solar capacity within five years.
