Indonesian energy policy think tank, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), has penned a new report stating that the country stands to gain from the influx of new solar manufacturing capabilities yet is still underutilising its generation potential.
The United States Studies Centre (USSC), a think tank based at the University of Sydney, has said that Australia has an opportunity to “fill niche gaps in the global solar supply chain” but risks relying on Chinese imported goods.
Indonesia’s Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) has noted that the country has passed 700MW of installed solar PV capacity, but it warns that this progress is “inadequate” to comply with the global climate target.
Vena Energy and Shell Eastern Trading have secured conditional approval from the Energy Market Authority of Singapore (EMA) to export 400MW of solar PV from the Riau Islands in Indonesia to Singapore.
