PT Pertamina and PT LEN Industry signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a solar photovoltaic (PV) industry

The agreement would pave the way for Indonesia to produce the solar cells it needs to build solar power plants instead of importing them. Pertamina expects the cooperation will bolster the development of solar-cell power production in the country, which currently contributes around 17 MWp (megawatt peak), or 0.05 percent, to the total available power in the country. The company said the domestic solar PV industry would be an attractive venture due to the growing demand for solarpowered lighting for streets, airports, infrastructure, housing, offices and other sites. The government through Presidential Decree No. 5/2006 requires that by 2025 solar-powered energy should account for 0.2 to 0.3 percent of the countrys total energy supplies was equivalent to 1.000 MWp. The government has been aiming for renewable energy to fulfill 25 percent of total domestic energy demand by 2025. Apart from solar energy, the government is also eyeing other options for providing access to electricity in certain regions of the country through potential hydro-energy production. Data from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry in June shows that the national electrification rate currently stands at almost 70 percent. (The Jakarta Post)
