The Government of Indonesia has just announced it will tender out at least 5,000MW of solar projects by the end of 2018 based on a newly enacted regime for the development of PV solar projects. The regime detailed in the recently issued regulation (Reg 19/2016) introduces an entirely new procedure for the tendering and award of solar projects which includes: -

a capacity quota system; -

feed-in tariffs which differ from region to region; –

the allocation of power capacity based on an online “first come, first served” basis; –

restrictions on the capacity (and therefore the size of projects) that can be awarded to developers; and –

a model power purchase agreement to be issued by PLN.
