The Government of Indonesia has announced plans to construct three solar power plants in East Java, West Java, and West Sumatra, with a combined capacity of 220 MWp. The Karangkates Solar Power Plant in East Java will generate 100 MWp, while floating solar farms at Singakarak Lake in West Sumatra and Saguling in Bandung, West Java, will each contribute 60 MWp.
The government has signed power supply agreements with investors, reinforcing its commitment to renewable energy (RE). The initiative aligns with Indonesia’s target to increase RE’s share from 14 per cent to 23 per cent by 2029. The Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant, Southeast Asia’s largest at 192 MWp, serves as a model for these developments.
