PLN, Indonesia's state electricity company, has officially launched the Nusantara Solar One photovoltaic power plant project, with a total installed capacity of 1,225 GW, adopting an integrated procurement and development model called GIGA ONE. The project's tender process officially began on April 30, 2026. GIGA ONE is a breakthrough in Indonesia's procurement model for large-scale renewable energy power plants, bundling multiple solar PV projects into a single strategic package to create advantages of scale, optimizing project economic efficiency while providing investors with more stable and predictable project guarantees.
The President Director of PLN stated that this integrated procurement mechanism aims to accelerate the implementation of clean energy projects while enhancing the investment attractiveness of Indonesia's power sector. Through the GIGA ONE bundled tender, project financial feasibility is stronger, implementation certainty is higher, and overall efficiency from procurement to construction is significantly improved.
This project not only optimizes the national clean energy structure and strengthens energy independence but also generates economic multiplier effects, driving the growth of green jobs. The Director of PLN's Project and New Energy Management introduced that the Nusantara Solar One PV project is a pioneering initiative supporting the Prabowo government's national target of building 100 GW of solar PV capacity. The GIGA ONE model positions renewable energy as an engine for national industrial growth, focusing not only on power plant construction but also on building an integrated upstream and downstream clean energy industrial ecosystem. The project also aims to increase the use of local components and strengthen the domestic energy manufacturing industry, reinforcing the local supply chain and enhancing the competitiveness of the domestic energy sector.
This 1,225 GW PV project is distributed across multiple locations in Indonesia, with clear regional capacity allocations: Sumatra 35 MW, Kalimantan 340 MW, Java 600 MW, Sulawesi 50 MW, West Nusa Tenggara 80 MW, Maluku and Papua combined 120 MW. All projects are targeted to achieve commercial operation by 2029.
In the future, Indonesia will also replicate the GIGA ONE integrated procurement model to the development of hydropower plants, wind power, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). This move represents a significant step in Indonesia's power industry transition toward an independent, stable, and self-sufficient clean energy system. GIGA ONE will become a new benchmark for Indonesia's renewable energy procurement, marking a new milestone in the nation's energy transition.
