Oct 17, 2024 · Jakarta—A report by the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) highlights that policies that encourage the growth of ESS in Indonesia must support its development. The
IESR has issued a report for the first time assessing the development of energy storage in Indonesia in Powering the Future: An Assessment of Energy Storage Solutions and The Applications for Indonesia.
Solar energy can be a strategy to meet this target,” said Deon Arinaldo, Program Manager of Energy System Transformation, at the launch of the Indonesia Solar Energy Outlook 2025 study report – Breaking the Walls: The Future of Indonesia’s Solar Energy and Energy Storage Innovations (15/10/2024).
The cost of the project is officially estimated at $33 billion and will take a decade to complete. In terms of funding, the Indonesian government has recently launched a Sovereign Wealth Fund dubbed Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) to draw more foreign investments for its infrastructure drive, among other national development plans.
Comprising a 50MW solar farm with a 14.2MWh battery energy storage system, this project is Sembcorp’s inaugural venture into large-scale solar development in Indonesia. A launch ceremony was held earlier today to commemorate the occasion, with distinguished guests including the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr Prabowo Subianto.
Accelerating the energy transition is important to bring Indonesia into this circle. Zainal Arifin, EVP of Renewable Energy, PT PLN, said that the combination of VREs and energy storage systems such as batteries will be a game changer for overall energy supply.
Muhammad Dhifan Nabighdazweda, IESR Energy Analyst, based on IESR monitoring in the Indonesia Solar Energy Outlook (ISEO) 2025 study, explained that solar energy capacity in Indonesia has also increased but the figure is still very small compared to its potential.
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.
