JAKARTA, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's state-owned electricity company PT PLN and its subsidiaries have collaborated with the Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC) to build a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 5 Megawatts (MW) this year.
This wind power project plans to generate 70 MW in Tanah Laut, Kalimantan utilizing 10 MW of BESS technology. PLN and Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC), the state-owned battery company, are working on another pilot project with a 5 MW energy storage system.
Subsidiaries of PLN involved in the Battery Energy Storage System project happen to be the primary electricity providers in Indonesia, such as PT Indonesia Power, PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali, and others. The plan to develop an energy storage system aligns with the positive growth in the renewable energy industry.
There have been talks with Tesla, with plans to invest in Indonesia’s Battery Energy Storage System sector. Tesla has an outstanding reputation in its production of technology that is carbon neutral. The BESS produced and used by Tesla has a relatively low negative environmental impact.
Although, there is no policy mandating the installation of energy storage in solar or wind projects in Indonesia, the abundance of solar and wind resources in Indonesia’s archipelago and increased potential demand across industries indicate that BESS demand is poised to grow substantially in the near future.
Indonesia has recently launched a 5 megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). 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 global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
