New feed-in-tariff scheme for renewable energy expected soon in Indonesia

As reported from Indonesia this week, the Ministry for Energy and Mineral
Resources in Indonesia expects to soon issue a new ruling on a new tariff
scheme for renewable energy.

The planned tariff scheme, will set the feed-in-tariffs for electricity
generated from renewable energy sources at no higher than 85% of the basic
production cost of renewables in respective regions.

This will result in different tariffs for different regions and
technologies.

The country maintains its ambitious 35,000 MW power program, with a large
part of this to be sourced from renewable energy sources. The official
target is to derive 23% of electricity from renewable energy by 2025. With
its geothermal resources, the country is putting big hopes into geothermal
energy development. The state power utility PLN expects that power plants
with a total capacity of up to 26,000 MW will start operations by the end of
2019, of which only 20,000 MW have signed PPAs with PLN.

There remains a lot of criticism by industry players on the part of PLN and
its inconsistency in carrying out project tenders, so Rambu Energy.
