Implementation Incentives to Be Regulated, RPerpres on the 100 GWp PLTS Program Expected to Be Issued Soon

The Government is expected to finalize Draft Regulation of the President on the Acceleration of the Development of 100 Gigawatt-Peak Solar Power Plants (“RPerpres on PLTS 100 GWp”) in the near future. The draft regulation has now reached the promulgation stage.

The Director General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (“EBTKE”), Eniya Listiani Dewi, stated that the RPerpres is intended to optimize the utilization of PLTS, while accelerating the achievement of Indonesia’s national clean energy targets.

“The draft has been completed, including its wording. It now only requires finalization at the Ministerial level, with a focus on the realization targets and achievement of the 100 GWp PLTS target,” she told Hukumonline.

Based on the draft obtained by Hukumonline, the RPerpres comprises 8 chapters and 35 articles. The Government has set a three-year target for the development of 100 GWp of PLTS, with 30.5 GWp targeted for 2026, 36 GWp for 2027, and 33.5 GWp for 2028.

To support the achievement of these targets, the Government has prepared several incentives for the development of rooftop PLTS for self-consumption. One of these incentives is the removal of the requirement to apply for an allocation quota from PT PLN (Persero). In addition, parallel operation charges will be set at Rp0, and installation approval will be granted automatically through PLN's digital platform.

“The requirement to submit an application to PT PLN (Persero) for the availability of an allocation quota for the development of rooftop PLTS systems shall not apply,” as stipulated in Article 9 paragraph (1) letter a of the RPerpres.
