Abstract

Indonesia has committed to the National Energy Policy (KEN) or the National Energy General Plan (RUEN) to increase the Renewable Energy Mix which is at least 23% by 2025. Given that Indonesia is a tropical country, the energy from solar using Solar PV (Photovoltaic) has great potential to be developed and utilized. In this study we conducted an analysis of the application of Solar PV to meet the additional electricity demand for residential sector in South Sulawesi from 2019 to 2025 with certain scenarios. The results of calculations using the center of gravity method show that Makassar is the best location for development of centralized power plant in South Sulawesi. The demand of residential sector increase by 34,88% from 2019-2025. The best option for developing Solar PV Power plant is by individual scale Solar PV rooftop power plant.
