On August 25, 2026, Indonesian President Prabowo officially announced the launch of the 100GW photovoltaic power generation construction plan. The goal is to complete it within 3 years. This is the most ambitious PV construction plan in Southeast Asian countries so far, and it is also a rare scale on a global scale. According to statistics from the International Renewable Energy Agency, by the end of 2025, only four countries in the world had accumulated more than 100 GW of PV installed capacity; Indonesia's current installed capacity is only about 1.5 GW. Prabowo said at the launch ceremony that the 100GW PV installation will make Indonesia truly an energy independent country. Coupled with geothermal resources, natural gas fields, and oil production, which must be continuously increased, Indonesia will not need to import oil or liquefied petroleum gas in the future. Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahrir said that Indonesia has plenty of sunshine throughout the year and has great potential to develop photovoltaics. Strengthening the domestic photovoltaic module and battery energy storage industry is one of the foundations to support the implementation of the plan. According to his estimates, the 100 GW PV plan is expected to invest a total of about 73 billion US dollars and create about 5.52 million jobs. After the implementation of the plan, it is expected to save Indonesia more than 4.7 billion US dollars in energy expenses every year, save about 6 billion liters of diesel, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 140 million tons.
