Indonesia’s importance as a solar market looks set to grow following the announcement of a 5 GW goal at the Bali Clean Energy Forum. At the event, Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Sudirman Said, launched a centre of excellence for clean energy “to accelerate the development of renewable energy, up to 23% of the national energy mix by 2025.” For the next four years, he announced, the centre will “support the development of the 35 MW electrification programs [sic], of which 25% or about 8.8 GW will come from renewable energy."
What remains to be seen now is how quickly Indonesia’s solar ambition can translate into projects on the ground. Some analysts have expressed concern over grid connections, but Jakarta-based clean energy consultant Andre Susanto said this was only likely to be a problem on some of the smaller island grids where generation is through old diesel plants. Elsewhere, he said: “There is enough peaking power plants and load followers to be able to handle solar PV power plants’ variability of power input during the day.”
