Asia Clean Energy Forum, June 2015 Bill Meade, Director Integrating Distributed Renewable Energy Generation in Indonesia
Contents • Historical context • Current Situation • Challenges and Mitigation Measures
Historical context • PLN Village Electrification Scheme • Diesel mini-grids serving load centers • Operating 6-18 hours per day • Connection to substations via 20 kV feeder lines • Micro hydropower systems for unserved areas • 10 – 100 kW locally manufactured and designed systems • Community operated utilities • Some later connected to PLN network • Solar home systems • PV panel, battery and controller • PLN system promotion, distribution and service
Current situation • Government policy for universal access • Increase from 80% - 100% access • Public service obligation: PLN local government • Government funded community renewable generation in unserved communities • Government policy to reduce diesel use in power sector • Ban on PLN purchase of new diesel gensets • PLN operated solar PV and biomass hybrid systems • Government bidding for grid connected solar PV in island grids • Government policy for distributed renewable IPPs • Feed in tariffs (FIT) for < 10 MW (hydro, biomass, biogas) • Government auction with ceiling price (solar PV) • Connection to PLN medium voltage 20 kV grid
Main conclusion “A new business model is needed that enables privately financed generation, local government-owned distribution utilities for unserved areas.”
