Energy
Eastern Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands,
small towns and isolated village communities
-
demand for electricity on increase, but PLN still
using expensive diesel and coal-fired power
growing use of gas - eg 135Mw in Sengkang (EWC
- originally Australian company)
some hydro- eg in Central Sulawesi
now significant wind and solar opportunities:
PLN's feed-in tariffs promising because of high cost
(incl transport) of fossil-fuels
72Mw wind power project in Jeneponto (Equis
Australian company)
75Mw wind power project in Sidrap (UPC
Renewables)
potential for geothermal

RENEWABLE ENERGY FIELD STUDY EASTERN INDONESIA
The Australian Consulate-General in Makassar, in cooperation with the Australia-Indonesia Centre (AIC) Energy Cluster,
will organise a Renewable Energy Field Study to Eastern Indonesia in Q1 of 2018. The field study will begin with a one-
day seminar in Makassar with expert speakers from the AIC, from the state energy company PLN, from the Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources, and from leading private sector renewable energy investors and experts in Indonesia.
The second and third days will consist of field visits to a wind power project in development near Makassar, and an
island off-grid PLN solar project in the Makassar Strait. Participants will then have the option of continuing on to a
remote island energy study visit to Morotai, with the AIC
BACKGROUND
To meet Indonesia's national development needs, President Joko Widodo has declared the goal of adding 35Gw
(gigawatts of power to the national network within the next few years. Most of this new energy will be supplied
through private investment, mainly large-scale coal and gas power plants. A significant proportion however, will come
from renewables: Indonesia has declared a renewable energy target of 23% by 2025 - twice current levels. There is
potential for foreign investors to supply renewable energy into the national grid, run by state-owned enterprise PLN.
For renewable energy projects over 10 Mw, up to 95% foreign ownership is permitted, between 1-10 Mw up to 4996 is
allowed, with the exception of geothermal at 67%.
Indonesia has made important strides towards universal access to power over the last decade, with an electrification
rate of 84% (Asian Development Bank 2016). However, to provide electricity to the remaining 1696-some 42 milion
people-will be costly and technically challenging. Many of these people live in remote mountainous or island
communities in eastern Indonesia. Below is a map of electrification rates across Indonesia (PWC 2016): in many cases it
may be less costly to use renewable off-grid technologies, than extend the national grid to isolated districts, as has been
assessed for the island of Sumba, in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). While there is not yet an over-arching policy framework
for off-grid supply, there is recognition among national and provincial governments of the advantages of renewables
and micro-grids in servicing remote communities, particularly in eastern Indonesia.
