PV electrictiricty in Indonesia-A Sustainable Transition with Great Potential (original) (raw)

2014

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a PV market and PV policy in Indonesia - a sunny country with 238 million inhabitants - which resulted in the introduction of a feed-in-tariff ranging from 25 – 30 cents/kWh for PV systems by the Indonesian government in June 2013. Our potential study for PV systems in Indonesia showed that off-grid PV systems could generate 1600 GWh/year, grid-connected PV 37 TWh/year, which is more than 26% of the electricity consumption in Indonesia 2010. Given this enormous potential, distributed islands and a solar irradiation of more than 4.4 kWh/m2.day, PV systems could be an appropriate solution for electrification in both urban, rural and remote areas. Evidence for this was found by a PV pilot plant of 34 kWp in Jayapura in Papua showing good performance ratios up to 90%. Stakeholders were assessed and user perception was evaluated by questionnaires in East Timor and Papua indicating support from more than 50% of the local parties and people. To stimulate the development of a PV market a knowledge center has been established at ITB. Therefore ITB offers now master courses on renewable energy with focus on solar energy. All results originate from a 3-year project of the Dutch government on capacity building for solar PV systems involving universities, companies and WWF.
