JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Renewable energy development in Indonesia is still full of challenges, with the slow progress blamed on unattractive renewable energy feed-in tariffs, the lack of fiscal incentives and volatile policies.
At the domestic level, the development of renewable energy has been constrained by resources. In the five years between 2015 and 2019, renewable energy power plants in Indonesia grew 400 megawatts (MW) per annum on average. In 2020, installed capacity was increased at an even lower rate than before of below 200 MW.
