Webinar Dissemination of the 100 GW Solar PV Development Strategy to Drive Energy Decentralization

Background

The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR/KESDM), has issued the National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) for the 2025–2060 period. The RUKN document states that to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060 or earlier, an average annual addition of approximately 9.6 GW of power generation capacity is required, reaching a total connected capacity of 443 GW in the national grid by 2060. Of this 443 GW, approximately 41.5% will come from Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) supported by 34 GW of energy storage while 58.5% will consist of dispatchable (non-VRE) power plants. Based on the VRE share, solar power (PLTS) is set to become the backbone of the national power system by 2060 with a total capacity of approximately 108.7 GW, followed by wind power (PLTB) at 73.5 GW and hydropower (PLTA) at 70.5 GW.

Meanwhile, PLN’s Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) for the 2025–2034 period shows planning aligned with the 2025–2060 RUKN. It includes a planned capacity addition of 42.6 GW from renewable energy, with the largest contribution coming from solar PV at 17.1 GW. To realize the targets in the RUPTL, PLN must successfully manage renewable energy procurement until it reaches Commercial Operation Date (COD) at an average rate of 4.26 GW per year. This represents a major challenge, considering that the average growth of renewable energy capacity in the PLN grid over the last five years has only been 0.7 GW (IESR, 2025).

On the other hand, to realize one of the “Astacita” missions energy self-sufficiency President Prabowo has announced the development of 100 GW of solar PV and 320 GWh of energy storage systems spread across 80,000 villages throughout Indonesia (Kompas, 2025). This policy, which aims to create reliable and affordable energy access for communities in remote areas, must be welcomed and supported by comprehensive strategies and planning. This initiative will certainly address the obstacles faced by the Indonesian government in increasing electrification for approximately 5,758 villages (or 1.2 million households) that currently lack access to the PLN grid (MEMR, 2025). Therefore, solid collaboration between various cross-sectoral policymakers at all levels is essential to ensure the 100 GW solar development program is well-implemented, beneficial to the community, and sustainable.

IESR, as an energy and environmental think-tank in Indonesia, appreciates President Prabowo’s initiative regarding the 100 GW Solar PV (PLTS) development plan. This program is considered strategic and relevant in addressing the energy transition challenges faced by the Indonesian government, while simultaneously supporting national energy self-sufficiency efforts. In line with the urgency and scale of the program, IESR has prepared a preliminary report regarding the implementation plan for the 100 GW solar program. This preliminary report is scheduled to be officially launched to the public and stakeholders through the webinar: Dissemination of the 100 GW Solar PV Development Strategy to Drive Energy Decentralization.

Objective

  1. Disseminate the IESR’s initial report on the proposed implementation of the 100 GW Solar Power Plant (PLTS) program.
  2. Discuss recommendations for the implementation of the 100 GW Solar Power Plant (PLTS) program.
