Off-grid renewables growth
has been slowing down
The growth in off-grid solar PV and micro-hydro power plants has been
slowing down over years. Although there is ample opportunity to
electrify rural areas by using off-grid renewables systems, Indonesia has
no regulations that specifically opt for development off-grid renewables.
PLN is still using the same approach by extending the grid to electrify
rural areas, which is more expensive than using distributed renewables.
Around 90% of bioenergy power plants in Indonesia are off-grid. By
2017, the off-grid bioenergy (biogas, biomass, and waste) power plants
contributed to 18% of total renewable power plants in the country while
the growth in off-grid solar PV and mini/microhydro power plants was
decent.
The 2018-2037 RUKN (draft) aims to reduce the oil share in electricity
generation to maximum 1% in 2025. In 2017, Indonesia had 2.5 GW of
diesel power plants which generated 18.5 GWh of electricity, counting
for 7% of total generation in that year.
