Indonesia boosts solar power development

Indonesia’s Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) announced on 21st October that the country’s installed solar power capacity has surpassed 700 MW. However, further acceleration is needed to meet global climate targets.

As of August 2024, Indonesia’s installed solar power capacity reached 717.71 MW. The Cirata solar power project, installed in November 2023, had to nearly triple its capacity to 145 MW to meet demand, according to a report in VietnamPlus.

Indonesia currently has around 17 GW of solar power under development, with state utility PLN planning to add 3.2 GW by 2030. Offshore solar energy development is also being prioritised to address electricity transmission challenges in remote areas. Floating solar panels are seen as more efficient, helping reduce evaporation and maintain water levels for irrigation.
