4 FAQs about Indonesia energy storage for demand response

How should energy storage systems be planned in Indonesia?

Planning for energy storage systems should be well integrated with power transmission, distribution, and generation planning in Indonesia, aligning with the increasing installation of VRE. Besides setting capacity targets, planning documents should outline the full range of potential ESS roles.

Why is battery energy storage system important in Indonesia?

However, given the challenge of Indonesia's geological landscape, with many off-grid and remote areas, there is growing intermittency issue that hamper the development of solar and wind generation. Hence, the battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies have a critical role in the development of Indonesia's renewable energy.

Is Indonesia ready to absorb more renewables?

As the Oliver Wyman study notes, neither Indonesia's grid nor its storage infrastructure is currently ready to absorb significantly more renewables. Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is crucial for balancing supply and demand over days and seasons, enabling a reliable supply of Indonesia renewable energy.

How can Bess help the EV market in Indonesia?

The growing EV market will necessitate a robust battery ecosystem, including storage solutions for grid integration and charging infrastructure. Indonesia's focus on industrial growth creates a demand for reliable power. BESS can offer backup power, improve power quality, and enable cost savings through peak shaving.
