A Lesson of Solar Energy Development in Malaysia and Indonesia

Abstract

To address environmental issues, Indonesia aims to achieve a 23% renewable energy share by 2025 and 31% by 2050. According to National Energy Plan (RUEN), the target for solar energy installed capacity is 6.5 GW by 2025 and 45 GW by 2050. Looking at one of Indonesia neighboring country, Malaysia, have a significant growth on solar energy as a result from their policy framework, role of national electricity company, and the PV industry condition. Therefore, this paper will be projecting Indonesia's progress on solar energy target in RUEN using Malaysia's approach & Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) initiatives and using Business as Usual (BAU) scheme, in which the result shows that achievement on RUEN target still below 22% for both schemes.

Artificial intelligence applications in solar energy

“…In addition, organizations and governments are supporting the utilization of renewable energy and solar energy via a variety of laws and incentives because it is relatively safe to use, can be scaled up, and has a positive influence on the environment in comparison to other sources [64]- [68], this shifting progress to renewable energy could be observed for the post-COVID19 pandemic [69], [70]. The present installed generation capacity for solar energy may be larger than that of wind energy; nevertheless, it is anticipated that solar power will have a growth rate of 47.6% on an annual basis, while wind energy has been projected to have a growth rate of 18.9% [71].…”
