ANALISIS PERKEMBANGAN PLTS DI PROVINSI SUMATERA SELATAN MENUJU TARGET 296,6 MW PADA TAHUN 2025

Abstract

Target capacity of Solar Power Plant in Province of South Sumatra is pursued through
the construction of a rooftop PV mini-grid system with off-grid and on-grid systems. Based on
National Energy General Plan (RUEN) in 2017, Province of South Sumatra has the third largest
solar power potential on a national scale with a target of Solar Power Plant development
reaching 296.6 MW in 2025. Province of South Sumatra is the second most populous province
on Sumatra Island with electricity consumption reaching 5,308 GWh in 2020. This study tries to
analyze the development of Solar Power Plant in Province of South Sumatra based on the
literature review. Solar Power Plant that has been installed until 2021 reached 12.441 MW or
around 4.12% of the South Sumatra RUEN target of 296.6 MW in 2025. The types of Solar
Power Plant applications in Province of South Sumatra consist schools, hotels, palm oil
factories, irrigation pumps , and utility networks spread across Palembang, Muara Enim
Regency, Muara Rawas Regency, and Ogan Hilir Regency
