Bangka Belitung Islands province has planned to develop a solar power plant in a former tin ore mining area to boost energy supply for driving the local economy. PT Ffaireness Indonesia Daya is planning investment for the development of the 4-5 MW solar power plant, from the potential of 1,250 MW in the former tin ore mining area, whose mining concession had been returned to the provincial government.
