A study from the Institute for Essential Services Reform and Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs explores how Indonesia can turn its target of deploying 100 GW of solar from mandate to mobilization.
Research from Indonesia has proposed a 180-day action plan to operationalize the country's 100 GW solar initiative.
The Solar Archipelago: Indonesia's 100 GW Leap to Energy Sovereignty report, by thinktank Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) in collaboration with Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, serves as an implementation framework to realize Indonesia's 100 GW directive.
First announced in August 2025, the 100 GW target encompasses 80 GW of decentralized, small-scale solar systems with accompanying battery energy storage systems (BESS) to be deployed across 80,000 villages, alongside 20 GW of centralized solar.
Fabby Tumiwa, IESR CEO, told pv magazine that in order to reach the target, the institute is recommending the initiative is designated as a national strategic program, with the establishing a centralized project management unit to coordinate the rollout.
