Part 5/15:

Indonesia is blessed with abundant renewable resources, especially solar energy, thanks to its equatorial location. Solar has the potential to generate up to 200 gigawatts—the largest share in the country's renewable energy capacity. Projects like floating solar plants on dams—such as the ambitious 145-megawatt facility at the Chirata Dam in West Java—highlight progress in this arena. These initiatives are vital since solar energy, despite being clean, faces limitations like intermittency and high costs related to storage and infrastructure, especially across Indonesia's dispersed islands.
