The Indonesian government has revealed a new initiative aiming to deploy 100 GW of solar. The distributed solar for energy self-sufficiency program encompasses 80 GW of solar that will be deployed as 1 MW solar arrays with 4 MWh of accompanying battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Indonesiaʼs total cumulative installed energy storage capacity has reached around 35 MWh by mid-2024, primarily from BESS installations in distributed, isolated systems supporting solar PV generation. Installed energy storage capacity could exceed 30 GWh by 2030, based on announced projects.
Indonesia receives 4.5–6.5 kWh/m²/day of solar irradiance—ideal for solar + battery solutions. Store excess solar energy during the day and use it during night or outages—supporting energy independence and clean development.
Solar energy can be a strategy to meet this target,” said Deon Arinaldo, Program Manager of Energy System Transformation, at the launch of the Indonesia Solar Energy Outlook 2025 study report – Breaking the Walls: The Future of Indonesia's Solar Energy and Energy Storage Innovations (15/10/2024).
Indonesia has the second highest industrial electricity prices in South East Asia (after Singapore), and frequent power outages in the outer islands. Many factories are forced to rely on
Accelerating the energy transition is important to bring Indonesia into this circle. Zainal Arifin, EVP of Renewable Energy, PT PLN, said that the combination of VREs and energy storage
Indonesia Portable Energy Storage System Market size was valued at around USD 0.7 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.08 million by 2030, at 7.56% CAGR (2025-30).
Why Solar Energy Storage Is Revolutionizing Indonesia''s Power Sector Indonesia''s push toward renewable energy has made photovoltaic (PV) energy storage systems a hot topic. With frequent
