Solar Energy In Indonesia: Potential and Outlook
While capturing all of this capacity is not feasible, a significant portion is in locations that remain accessible to various sizes of solar
Indonesia's vast coastline and numerous islands make it an attractive location for wind energy development. Wind energy has significant potential in certain regions of the country, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi, and West 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).
The progress in solar power development in Indonesia has been significant, especially considering the country's previous reliance on conventional energy sources. Recent projects illustrate the government's commitment to scaling up solar energy, focusing on policy reforms, investment opportunities, and technological advancements.
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).
