Hydropower Potential in Indonesia: Assessment of theoretical, technical and economic potential of hydropower

Indonesia has a severe problem of fossil fuel dependency, making it become one the world’s larger carbon emission contributor. At the same time, the growing population will increase the energy demand in the future. Thus, in order to meet the energy demand and decrease the carbon emission, the government together with PLN as the state electricity...

Decarbonising residential sector of Indonesia by strengthening energy efficiency and rooftop PV policies

Indonesia has ambitious targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 29 to 41% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. The residential sector in Indonesia consumes close to fifty percent of the country’s overall electricity demand. In the last decade, the residential demand for power has doubled, indicating a substantial rise. As...

Estimating the technical and economic potential of rooftop solar photovoltaics on Bali

The Indonesian aims to greatly increase the share of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation mix. Rooftop solar photovoltaics (RTSPV) are a potential generation method that can be used in support of this, with Bali chosen as a case study. No estimates of the total technical and economic potential of RTSPV on Bali exist in academic...

Energy transition in the Kalimantan power system: Combining spatiotemporal power system modelling with energy justice analysis

The Indonesian government has announced a national strategy to achieve net-zero emissions through energy transition and justice. However, there are no extensive studies that assess the impact of this strategy and the growing demand in the Kalimantan power system. Therefore, this thesis project aims to conduct a techno-economic and energy justice...

Bamboo to electricity: Assessment of the technoeconomic potential of bamboo on degraded land for electricity generation in Indonesia

Following the Paris Agreement of 2015, Indonesia aims to reduce emissions by 29% by 2030, compared to the business as usual scenario. In Indonesia it is expected that between 2015 and 2030 the electricity demand could triple and the total energy demand could increase by 80%. Bioenergy would account for more than half of all renewable energy in...

Assessment of the technical and economic potential of utility-scale solar PV in Indonesia and the effects of policy interventions

Indonesia has set ambitious targets to increase renewable energy in the energy and electricity mix for 2025 and 2050. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the renewable energy technology types that could play an important role in this transition, given the high resource potential compared to other countries and the global declining costs. The...

Renewable Energy Integration in the Jamali Power System: A Techno-Economic Analysis

The Indonesian government has set a target to increase new and renewable energy sources in the energy mix by 23% in 2030 and 31% in 2050, which are to be met by investing in hydropower and geothermal energy capacity mainly. However, Indonesia has abundant other renewable energy potentials, which are largely untapped. The Java-Madura-Bali (Jamali...

Techno-Economic and Institutional Assessment of Wind Energy in Indonesia: A spatial evaluation of wind energy potential and its pertinent institutions

Indonesia is facing a challenge in fulfilling its future energy demand given the combination of a consistently high economic growth and a fast-growing population. The country also needs to increase the integration of renewable energy into the electricity system. Wind energy, one of the renewable energy alternatives, is severely underutilized in...
