Indonesia: BKPN in US$1bn off-grid solar-plus
Indonesia''s national Consumer Protection Agency (BKPN) will coordinate at least US$1 billion in investment for off-grid solar-plus-storage.
The government of Indonesia has launched a programme that aims to build 100GW of solar PV and 320GWh of BESS in the coming years, mostly distributed across smaller projects in rural areas. The programme will consist of 80GW of solar PV plants and 320GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across 80,000 villages.

The new initiative features plans for 1 MW solar minigrids tied with 4 MWh of accompanying battery energy storage, to be deployed across 80,000 villages, alongside 20 GW of centralized solar power plants. The Indonesian government has revealed a new initiative aiming to deploy 100 GW of solar.
These solar-plus-storage mini grids are set to be installed in 80,000 villages across Indonesia and will be managed and operated by village cooperative Merah Putih. A target of 10,000 becoming operational by August 2025 has been set.
