Solar Power Plants in Indonesia: Locations, Impacts, and Progress
This article explores solar power in Indonesia, highlighting key locations, current progress, and its multifaceted impacts on society, the economy, and the environment.
Solar Power Plants in Indonesia: Notable Locations 1. Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant The Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant, located in West Java, is one of the largest solar projects in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. With an installed capacity of 145 MW, it began operations in 2021 (Jakarta Post, 2023).
Technological advancements in solar energy are also propelling the growth of solar power plants in Indonesia. The introduction of advanced photovoltaic (PV) technologies, energy storage solutions, and smart grid systems has enhanced efficiency and reliability.
The total capacity of economically viable mini-hydro power plant sites in Indonesia is estimated at 729.0 MW across 139 sites. Mini-hydro power plant projects with an EIRR above 10% are predominantly located in Sumatera, Sulawesi, and a small area in Java.
The Solar Energy Potential in Indonesia Indonesia straddles the equator, making it an ideal location for solar energy generation. The country receives an average solar radiation of about 4.5 to 5.5 kWh/m²/day throughout the year (Mulyadi, 2020).
