The Indonesian Solar Energy Association (AESI) has called on the government to establish a robust legal umbrella for its ambitious 100 GW solar power program. During a stakeholder discussion on February 23, 2026, AESI emphasized that regulatory certainty is vital to move beyond "business-as-usual" and attract the estimated $78 billion in investment needed for the program's priority phase. The initiative aims to deploy distributed solar across 80,000 villages via the "Merah Putih" Village Cooperatives (KDMP). Financing institutions, including PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (SMI), echoed these concerns, noting that standardized contracts and tariff clarity are essential to ensure the projects are bankable and sustainable.
