Jakarta, August 7, 2025 – Indonesia will build a 100 Gigawatt (GW) Solar Power Plant (PLTS). The program plans to build 80 GW of solar power plants and 320 GWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to be managed by the Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDMP) in 80,000 villages, and 20 GW of Centralized solar power plants.
Indonesia possesses solar energy potential with a capacity ranging from 3,300 GW to 20,000 GW, spanning from Sabang to Merauke. With increasingly affordable, modular, and easy-to-build and operate solar power plant (PLTS) technology, this project could serve as a strategic solution to provide reliable and affordable energy access across Indonesia.
GE and TotalEnergies, through their equally-owned joint venture Singa Renewables (Singa), have entered into a Co-Investment Agreement to develop, build and operate a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with battery energy storage system (BESS) in Riau Province, Indonesia. The utility-scale project will be constructed in phases.
Indonesia’s technical potential for solar ranges from 3,300 GW to 20,000 GW, according to IESR estimates, while the country’s long-term energy policy targets up to 108.7 GW of solar by 2060. If implemented effectively, the program could redefine Indonesia’s energy landscape and serve as a global benchmark for large-scale distributed renewables.
