Indonesia Energy Storage Power Generation

Indonesia inaugurates its first solar power plant integrated with energy storage, a 50 MW project in Nusantara aimed at strengthening energy security. Indonesia takes a significant step in its energy transition with the launch of its first solar power plant integrated with an energy storage system. Indonesia''s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) draft plan proposes it will reach at least 44% renewables in its power generation by 2030.This is below the global target of 60% renewable electricity set out in the IEA Net Zero Emissions scenario and overlooks the country''s largely untapped renewables potential.

Why is battery energy storage system important in Indonesia?

However, given the challenge of Indonesia’s geological landscape, with many off-grid and remote areas, there is growing intermittency issue that hamper the development of solar and wind generation. Hence, the battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies have a critical role in the development of Indonesia’s renewable energy.

What is energy storage in Indonesia?

Energy storage systems serve varying purposes across different regions of Indonesia, particularly when comparing the Java–Bali–Sumatra grid, which has a high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) and wind installations, to other regions. In Java–Bali–Sumatra, energy storage primarily addresses the variability of RE sources, such as PV and wind.

How does Indonesia's electricity system work?

Indonesia's electricity system can be powered predominantly by solar PV, complemented by geothermal and hydroelectric power. Off-river pumped hydro energy storage is identified as a major asset for balancing high solar energy penetration.

Can re and energy storage improve energy security in Indonesia?

These findings underscore the potential of a strategic combination of RE, optimized energy storage, and grid enhancements to significantly lower costs and enhance energy security, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders for Indonesia’s transition to a sustainable energy future. 1. Introduction

Are renewables a good source of energy in Indonesia?

As shown in Fig. 2 Despite an overall boost in energy generation, renewables only slightly improved their contribution to the energy mix, from 11.24 % to 13 %, with hydro and geothermal sources registering modest increases (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Indonesia, 2023). Fig. 2.

Why is accelerating the energy transition important in Indonesia?

Accelerating the energy transition is important to bring Indonesia into this circle. Zainal Arifin, EVP of Renewable Energy, PT PLN, said that the combination of VREs and energy storage systems such as batteries will be a game changer for overall energy supply. “In order for VRE to enter (the network), a flexible grid must first be created.
