According to a report by the National Energy Council (DEN), in 2022 Indonesia had a solar energy potential for electricity generation of 3,294 gigawatts (GW).

DEN made this calculation by considering solar irradiance and land cover maps (settlements, open land, grasslands/savannas) that could potentially be used as solar power plant (PLTS) areas, including waters for floating PLTS.

Calculated per province, the largest solar energy potential in 2022 was in East Nusa Tenggara, at 369.5 gigawatts peak (GWp).

Other provinces in the national top 10 are Riau, South Sumatra, Central Java, East Java, and West Java.

Next are Central Kalimantan, North Sumatra, Jambi, and Lampung, with potential as shown in the graph.

"As a tropical country with year-round sunshine in various regions, Indonesia has great potential for the development of solar power plants," according to the DEN report.

However, this vast solar energy potential remains largely untapped.

According to DEN data, up to 2022, solar energy used for national electricity generation was only 0.3 GW, just 0.01% of the total potential.
