        "summary": "Indonesia's Deputy Minister Yuliot has announced the acceleration of the 100 GW solar power programme in response to high US tariffs on Indonesian solar panel imports, which range from 85.99 to 143.30 percent. The initiative, directed by President Prabowo Subianto, aims to boost domestic demand and mitigate export impacts, starting with an initial 17 GW phase. Compared to other ASEAN nations facing even steeper duties, this move underscores Indonesia's strategic pivot towards self-reliance in renewable energy amid global trade tensions.",
        "content": "<p>Deputy Minister Yuliot made the statement in response to concerns\nover the impact of US-imposed import tariffs on Indonesian solar panel\nproducts, which could affect the domestic solar panel industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s (Prabowo Subianto) directive is to accelerate the\ndevelopment of 100 GW of PLTS for domestic needs. So, this will be\nbalanced,\u201d Yuliot said in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Indonesia is still assessing the volume of solar\npanel exports subject to US tariffs in order to estimate the potential\nimpacts.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Yuliot said the 100 GW solar power program is expected\nto increase domestic demand for solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still finalizing the details. This program is being\nprioritized, with (the construction of) 17 GW first as the initial\nphase,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday (February 24), the US Department of Commerce (USDOC)\nannounced the imposition of temporary countervailing duties on imports\nof crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into\nmodules (solar panels), from several countries, including Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The tariffs imposed on Indonesia range from 85.99 to 143.30 percent.\nThe anti-solar panel subsidy investigation will continue until a final\ndecision is scheduled for July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to several other ASEAN countries, the tariffs imposed on\nIndonesia are lower.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia is subject to tariffs of 14 percent to 168 percent, Vietnam\n68 percent to 542 percent, Thailand 99 percent to 263 percent and\nCambodia exceeding 3,400 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: President Prabowo calls for accelerated 100 GW solar\npower push<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Putu Indah Savitri, Yashinta Difa<\/p>",
