Photovoltaic deployment experience and technical potential in Indonesia’s Java-Madura-Bali electricity grid

摘要: The largest and most established electricity grid in Indonesia, the Java-Madura-Bali (JAMALI) interconnected system, accounts for around 60% of the country’s total electricity demand. Given continuing high demand growth and the slow addition of major generators in recent years, energy users served by the JAMALI grid are experiencing inadequate and unreliable electricity supply. There is growing interest in the potential of renewable energy to help mitigate the risks of continued fossil fuel dependence, improve system reserve margins, and diversify energy sources to enhance supply security, as well as improve environmental outcomes. The Indonesian government’s vision to increase the renewable energy contribution to Indonesia’s energy mix to 23% by 2025, raises the question of what role utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) generation might play in meeting these challenges and opportunities. Indonesia has an …
