Recently, the government of Indonesia has announced a new plan, aiming to deploy 100 GW of solar power generation projects.
This plan is divided into two parts. It includes 80 GW of distributed photovoltaic power, and the deployment of "1 MW photovoltaic + 4 MWh energy storage" micro-grid systems in 80,000 villages, which will be operated by the village-level cooperative Merah Putih. Additionally, it also includes a 20 GW centralized photovoltaic project plan, covering both grid-connected and off-grid modes.
This project aims to reduce the electricity cost in rural areas. The system is expected to have an electricity price of $0.12 - $0.15 per kilowatt-hour, which is lower than the $0.20 - $0.40 per kilowatt-hour for diesel power generation. It also aims to help Indonesia achieve its goal of 108.7 GW of solar energy by 2060 and is planned to be completed within five years.
At present, this plan is being jointly promoted by the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Economic Coordination, and others.
