Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has given their permission for the development of rooftop solar power plants (rooftop PLTS) to the PT PLN (Persero). The development project will also have quota with the capacity up to 5,746 megawatts (MW) during the period of 2024-2028.

By 2030, Indonesia also is targeting the addition of 4.68 GW of solar power capacity and aiming to source 51.6% of its added power capacity from renewables sources under a new national master plan.

To achieve this ambition, Indonesia requires reliable supply of high-quality solar PV modules going forward. Localization of solar PV value chain is essential to secure access to the high-quality solar PV modules in the long term. As such, solar PV localization is projected to bring in investment worth more than USD 5 billion to USD 10 billion to Indonesia by 2035.

By 2060, solar energy is projected to dominate Indonesia’s energy landscape, accounting for over 60% of the nation’s total energy generation. The significant potential of solar power proves to be the most promising renewables energy for Indonesia to achieve Net Zero Emission by 2060.
