Indonesia plans to integrate a 100GW solar program into its 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan, aiming to shift from coal-fired generation towards cost-effective renewable energy sources, including substantial investments in renewables and energy storage. This shift reflects the changing economics of electricity production, where coal is increasingly less competitive due to rising costs and regulatory price masking, prompting a need for dynamic, region-specific planning to ensure financial sustainability and reduce subsidies.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Indonesia's shift to embed 100GW of solar into its national grid signals a crucial opening for renewable project developers and energy storage firms to enter a large, state-driven market. You must focus on region-specific cost advantages and align with PLN's evolving investment plans to capture this growing opportunity.
