Prabowo Inaugurates 100 Gigawatt Solar Power Project, Here is the List
The government of President Prabowo Subianto has officially commenced the construction of a mega solar power plant (PLTS) project with a total capacity of 100 Gigawatt peak (GWp) across various regions of Indonesia. This is in line with the government’s roadmap to achieve national energy self-sufficiency and sovereignty through the use of clean energy.
President Prabowo Subianto personally inaugurated the launch of the massive programme at the Gilimanuk Operation Monument in Jembrana, Bali, on Tuesday (25/8/2026). He aims to accelerate the realisation of the giant project to reduce dependence on imported energy products.
“Previously, I gave a four-year target for food self-sufficiency, but the economic, agricultural, and food teams achieved it in one year. That means if I give a three-year target to the energy team, no, make it two years,” he said during the inauguration of the 100 GWp PLTS programme, broadcast online, quoted on Wednesday (26/8/2026).
The mega project involves a total investment of Rp 1,140 trillion and is projected to absorb 5.5 million workers. In addition to promoting the realisation of clean energy, the programme is targeted to provide annual savings of up to Rp 73.9 trillion in national energy subsidy budgets.
“And today is an important day as we launch 100 gigawatts of solar power for the Indonesian nation. As a comparison, the entire electricity capacity of Indonesia is currently 88 gigawatts. We will build 100 gigawatts. And we are not playing around,” he asserted.
The initial phase of construction is focused on the first 14 projects with a total capacity of 5,216 Megawatt Peak (MWp) spread across various regions. The following is a list of strategic PLTS projects included in the tender and construction stages:
Projects Ready for Tender:
Jatiluhur Floating PLTS (West Java): 1,688 MWp
Cirata Floating PLTS (West Java): 1,250 MWp
Jatigede Floating PLTS (West Java): 636 MWp
PLTS+BESS Madura Cluster (East Java): 605 MWp
Bali PLTS (Gilimanuk): 300 MWp
Purwakarta Land Bank PLTS (West Java): 69 MWp
Construction & Groundbreaking Projects:
Banyuwangi PLTS (East Java): 130.2 MWp (Groundbreaking)
Pasuruan PLTS (East Java): 132 MWp (Groundbreaking)
Gajah Mungkur Floating PLTS (Central Java): 134.2 MWp (Groundbreaking)
Karangkates Floating PLTS (East Java): 133 MWp (Construction 56.54%)
Saguling Floating PLTS (West Java): 92 MWp (Construction 44.4%)
Tembesi PLTS (Batam): 46 MWp (Construction 65%)
Sembur Village PLTS (Batam): 0.92 MWp
Rengit Island PLTS: 0.078 MWp
In addition, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia reported that specifically in the Bali region, the construction of the PLTS will replace the role of diesel power plants that have been used so far. This is considered crucial to support Bali’s image as an international tourist destination that prioritises green energy.
“Specifically for Bali, by using 1,000 Megawatts, we are able to achieve an efficiency of 0.6 million kilolitres of diesel fuel used by PLN. All this time, Bali has still been using diesel power plants. So it is not surprising that we are doing this in Bali, because the campaign is green energy,” Bahlil explained on the same occasion.
The programme also includes the economic empowerment of coastal communities and remote islands through a productive use of energy scheme. In several locations, the PLTS will be integrated with cold storage facilities, ice-making machines, and electric boat charging stations for local fishermen.
“If the sun is the Indonesian sun, the solar panels are made by the hard work of the Indonesian people, and the electric batteries are produced from the sweat of Indonesian workers, then this solar energy is Indonesian energy, the energy of Ibu Pertiwi,” he concluded.
