Battery energy storage in indonesia

Does Indonesia need battery storage?

Indonesia aims to convert 250MW of diesel-generated power to renewable energy this year and will need battery storage to do this successfully. Image: PLN. Indonesia’s state-owned utility and battery producer have launched a 5MW battery energy storage system (BESS) pilot project as it seeks to move away from diesel-generated power.

Why is battery energy storage system important in Indonesia?

However, given the challenge of Indonesia’s geological landscape, with many off-grid and remote areas, there is growing intermittency issue that hamper the development of solar and wind generation. Hence, the battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies have a critical role in the development of Indonesia’s renewable energy.

Why is battery & energy storage Indonesia 2025 a positive event?

What is a battery energy storage system?

The new energy storage system is a device that enables energy from renewables to be stored and then released based on the needs of the customer. The Battery Energy Storage System is a pilot project and is a concrete example of the government’s attempt to shift away from diesel-generated power and transition to cleaner energy.

Should a battery energy storage system be developed?

Policies that incentivize BESS projects should be developed. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a solution for mitigating the intermittent nature of solar and wind power with the rise of renewable energy. The application of BESS is essential in integrating large-scale renewable energy.

What percentage of Indonesia's energy comes from coal?

In 2023, Indonesia derived approximately 60% of its energy from coal, while renewable energy’s contribution is estimated at about 15%. By 2025 and 2030, the Indonesia government aims to achieve the target of 23% and 30% of renewable energy contribution into the energy mix.
