Together with IESR and ISA, Echoing the Spirit of Solar Energy in Indonesia

JAKARTA - The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) is once again holding a seminar on the development of solar energy in Indonesia. IESR is collaborating with the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in this event, which will be held on Thursday (27/10). Held at the Mandarin Oriental Jakarta in a hybrid manner, this event carries the theme "Shine Bright: Advancing G20 Solar Leadership." The theme was chosen because it is in line with the focus of Indonesia's presidency in this year's G20, which has raised many issues of renewable energy.

Opened by Arifin Tasrif as the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources who attended online, Arifin expressed his appreciation to IESR and ISA for holding this event. In addition, Arifin also said that to implement the big goal in developing Solar PV, contributions from many parties are needed, not only from the government, business actors, and solar panel developers, but also from customers, both in the commercial and industrial sectors.

Executive Director of IESR, Fabby Tumiwa, said that this seminar was also a launching event for the Indonesia Solar Energy Outlook (ISEO) 2023 with various hopes that were initiated. "We do hope that publication (ISEO) could support Indonesia's stakeholders and policy makers to achieve solar PV deployment soon and for the future," said Fabby. Currently, IESR is trying to be a party that bridges ambition and reality in advancing the PLTS industry in Indonesia. Monitoring the declaration of the 2.3 GW PLTS target in 2023, which is still at 0.2 GW in 2022.

As a follow-up to the 2022 Indonesia Solar Summit (ISS) which was held last April, this event was also filled with High-level dialogue and Talkshow. Also present were various stakeholders and policy makers. Starting from ministries and related government agencies, BUMN, the Indonesian Solar Energy Association (AESI) and other related associations, international institutions, financing institutions, industrial and commercial sectors, embassies, renewable energy development companies, and EPC PLTS. The event was closed with the expression of hope that events like this should continue, not only because of the G20 agenda. It is hoped that the entire community, especially those present at the event, can be aware of the importance of using new renewable energy, especially solar power in overcoming energy problems and global warming that threaten. The invitation to use Rooftop PLTS continues to be echoed so that more people are educated and inspired to switch to new renewable energy.
