Indonesia slashes capacity charges for industrial rooftop solar

Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) lowered the monthly capacity charge payable by PLN's industrial customers who want to have their own rooftop solar projects for their electricity supply. According to Regulation 16, the amount of capacity charge has been slashed to one-eighth of the original amount under the previous regulation. Not only has the capacity charges been reduced, the emergency energy charge, a component of the parallel operation charges, has also been removed. Regulation 16 follows on the heels of another amendment to Regulation 49, which removes the requirement to obtain a captive electricity license and an operation worthiness certificate for captive power plants with a capacity of 500 kVA or less.
