Indonesia unveils plan for 100 GW of solar
These solar-plus-storage mini grids are set to be installed in 80,000 villages across Indonesia and will be managed and operated by village cooperative Merah Putih. The initiative also
View DetailsOnce operational, the 200MW Chereh Dam plant will become the largest floating solar project in Southeast Asia. Occupying approximately 950 acres, the Chereh Dam plant will have a generation capacity of more than 300MWp (200MWac), enough to power the equivalent of over 100,000 homes.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) estimates that the country will require close to 9.6 GW of additional power plant capacity every year to meet these targets, as the existing power plants require replacement. The ministry estimates the country's total solar energy potential stands at approximately 3,315 GW.
Using its domestically available resources, along with the availability of labor, industrial zones, and renewable energy potential, Indonesia can reduce polysilicon production costs, which currently reach up to $8 to $9/kg. Beyond the borders, international demand for solar energy can make Indonesia an alternative to China for the PV supply chain.
