JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) continues to support the realization of the national new and renewable energy (EBT) mix, including the use of energy in power plants. One of the efforts made is by encouraging the development of the national solar panel industry through a roadmap that has been prepared until 2025.
“Of course, this effort will have a multiplier effect on the Indonesian economy. Both in terms of industrial capabilities and technology transfer, which are in line with the government's determination to encourage a green economy," said Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in Jakarta, Tuesday (14/9).
The Head of the Standardization and Industrial Services Policy Agency (BSKJI) of the Ministry of Industry, Doddy Rahadi said that the roadmap had started from the first phase of the 2016 - 2018 period, namely the fulfillment of the Domestic Content Level (TKDN) target of 40% which includes for the manufacture of wafers, diesel cells, and solar modules. Currently, there are 10 solar module manufacturers in Indonesia.
In the 2019 – 2020 period, the target TKDN value is to increase to 76%, which is supported by the ingot factory. Then the period 2020-2022 is expected to reach the target of TKDN of 85% with the presence of a solar grade silicon factory. "The last stage in the period 2023 - 2025, achieving a minimum TKDN value of 90% with the presence of a metallurgical grade silicon factory," said Doddy.
Doddy added that solar energy in Indonesia currently has a potential of 532.6 GWp per year. However, until now the installed national production capacity is 515 MWp and the total capacity of PLTS in Indonesia is 25 MWp. (LM)
