        "summary": "The Indonesian government has secured 24,000 hectares of land in Java to support its ambitious 100 GW solar power programme, with an initial 17 GW phase and battery storage. The project, part of the national energy transition, is expected to cost $71.3 billion and aims to achieve 100 GW capacity by 2028, despite current solar capacity being only 1.5 GW. Tariffs for large and small-scale solar plants are projected between 5.5-40 US cents per kWh.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and the Ministry\nof Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning\/National Land Agency (ATR\/BPN)\nhave allocated 24,000 hectares of land in Java to support the\n100-gigawatt (GW) solar power plant programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The land availability, based on our joint identification by the ESDM\nand ATR\/BPN ministries, totals around 24,000 hectares in Java,\u2019 said\nDeputy Minister of ESDM Yuliot during a meeting at the ESDM office in\nJakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Yuliot added that the 24,000-hectare land will undergo joint\nverification by the ESDM, ATR\/BPN, and state electricity company PLN. He\nalso stated that infrastructure such as transmission lines and PLN\u2019s\nmain substations will be connected to the power plants located on the\nallocated land.<\/p>\n<p>Yuliot noted that the ESDM is prioritising an initial acceleration\nphase of 17 gigawatts (GW).<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This initial acceleration targets 17 GW first, along with\napproximately 33 gigawatts of battery energy storage (BESS),\u2019 Yuliot\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The government has prepared an initial phase of 17 GW solar power\nplant development as part of the larger 100 GW project aimed at\nsupporting the national energy transition.<\/p>\n<p>Strategic Planning Adviser to the ESDM Minister, Jisman P Hutajulu,\nstated the government aims for a total solar power plant development of\napproximately 100.7 gigawatt peak (GWp), combined with a battery energy\nstorage system (BESS) capacity of 145.8 gigawatt hours (GWh).<\/p>\n<p>The programme is split into two main schemes: large-scale solar\nplants connected to the national grid, and distributed small-scale\nsystems to reach remote areas and villages.<\/p>\n<p>Large-scale plants will have a capacity of around 87.5 GWp with 111\nGWh of BESS support, while distributed systems target 13.2 GWp with\napproximately 34.8 GWh of BESS.<\/p>\n<p>Economically, the government estimates electricity tariffs for\nlarge-scale solar plants will range from 5.5 to 25 US cents per kWh,\nwhile small-scale systems will cost between 9 and 40 US cents per kWh,\ndepending on the energy storage capacity used.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the 100 GW solar project is estimated to require an\ninvestment of $71.3 billion, equivalent to Rp1.14 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>President Prabowo Subianto has set a target of developing 100 GW of\nsolar power by 2026-2028, a highly ambitious goal given current\ninstalled capacity of just 1.5 GW.<\/p>",
