In an effort to achieve a new and renewable energy mix of 23% by 2025, the Government of Indonesia is fast-tracking solar energy development with the introduction of a new regulation on rooftop solar power plants.

Regulations on rooftop solar power plants for households and commercial and industrial customers have drastically evolved since 2017. Initially, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources ("MEMR") Regulation No. 1 of 2017 on the Parallel Operation of Power Plants with PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero)'s Grid allowed the interconnection with PLN's grid for backup and supplementary power.

Subsequently, MEMR Regulation No. 49 of 2018 on the Utilization of Rooftop Solar-Power Generation by PLN Customers ("MEMR Reg 49/2018") was enacted and amended twice in 2019. The most recent amendment is MEMR Regulation No. 16 of 2019, which permits installation of up to 100% of installed PLN capacity and export of up to 65% against the utility bill.

Indonesia’s New Direction On Strategic Natural Resource Exports

Indonesia is implementing a centralized export governance framework through Government Regulation No. 24 of 2026, requiring strategic natural resource commodities including coal, palm oil, and ferro alloy to be exported through a designated state-owned enterprise. This regulatory shift, effective June 1, 2026, may fundamentally alter existing commercial arrangements, shipping logistics, and contractual relationships between Indonesian exporters and offshore buyers.
