The full agenda — with receipts

A 100 GW solar target, as the title frames it, is a grid-planning story before it is a generation story, and it sets the carbon intensity of every kWh an EV charger sells in Indonesia. Watch for how Bappenas sequences the build-out against a coal-heavy system, and whether storage, transmission and demand-side loads like EV charging are planned in or left as afterthoughts. Charging operators and CPOs should care because a national plan decides where cheap, clean daytime power lands.

Safety rules decide who can build and operate charging infrastructure: certification, charger and battery standards, installation requirements and incident liability. The questions for the Ministry of Transportation are which standards become mandatory, how fast, and whether they cover the two-wheelers and retrofitted vehicles that dominate Indonesian roads. For CPOs and hardware vendors, this is where compliance cost and market-entry barriers get set.

Power semiconductors (SiC, GaN, gate drivers) sit under the cost, efficiency and power density of chargers, inverters and storage converters, so this is a view into where hardware economics are heading. The useful takeaways are what higher-voltage, bidirectional and solar-plus-storage-integrated architectures mean for DC fast-charger design. Hardware buyers and site developers should listen for what is commercially available now versus roadmap.

The panel pairs the people who set policy and the people who finance it: ESDM, the Presidential Staff Office, KfW, IEEFA and a project developer. The title asks whether distributed solar can deliver at scale, so the real test is who carries the cost of operating and maintaining thousands of small systems after commissioning. For EV charging professionals, the same off-grid and weak-grid solar-plus-storage logic is the template for charging in places the PLN network reaches poorly.

Island microgrids and C&I storage are the two places where solar, batteries and a flexible load like EV charging first pencil out together. The question for a vendor talk is what the system economics look like in practice: diesel displaced, payback assumptions, and whether charging is treated as a design load or an add-on. Site hosts weighing storage to cap demand charges or ride out weak grids should compare the claims against their own load profiles.

Hybridizing a large IPP with solar is a decarbonization case study from the heaviest-emitting part of the Indonesian power sector, and it shapes how clean grid electricity will be for charging. A technical workshop should show real integration issues: dispatch, curtailment, PPA constraints and where storage fits. EV charging professionals get little from it directly but should note how fast the grid mix can realistically move.

The topic is not announced, and AMPECO is a charging management software vendor, so expect something on charge point management, roaming, or energy and load management. The questions to ask are whether it addresses Indonesia-specific issues such as multi-vendor hardware, payments, grid constraints and two-wheeler use cases, or is a generic global pitch. Treat it as a sponsor session and look for deployment evidence rather than features.

BloombergNEF's value is in cost, pricing and pipeline data, so this should show how far Indonesian solar has moved from pilots to bankable projects. The numbers worth taking away are capex trends, tariff levels versus coal, and the gap between announced and built capacity. For charging operators, delivered power prices and the pace of grid decarbonization feed directly into the business case for EVs.

Malls, hotels, hospitals and mixed-use assets are the same sites where destination and fleet charging gets installed, and rooftop solar is often already on their capex agenda. The key questions are who owns and finances the systems, how landlords and tenants split the savings, and whether parking-lot charging is being designed in. Property owners and CPOs should treat this as a preview of how behind-the-meter energy and charging may be bundled.

Community solar in remote areas shows what it takes to keep small distributed systems running: financing, local ownership, maintenance and productive-use demand. The question for EV charging is whether electrified transport, such as e-motorcycles and boats, can serve as an anchor load that improves the economics of these systems. Look for evidence on utilization and operating models, not just installed capacity.

This is the most directly relevant session for charging professionals: it puts automakers, two-wheeler makers, an investor and a charging-focused media voice in one room. The central tension is whether charger rollout, grid connection and tariffs, and incentives can keep pace with vehicle supply, and who takes the utilization risk. Listen for specifics on two-wheeler swapping versus charging, PLN's role, and what private capital needs to see before financing networks.

Indonesia's grid is still coal-dominated, so the emissions case for EVs and the economics of charging depend on how fast utility-scale solar actually gets built. The panel combines an engineering consultancy, a power company, a carbon-trade body and an advisory group. It should show where projects stall (grid interconnection, offtake terms, financing, local-content rules) and whether carbon markets can change project returns. Charging operators, fleet electrifiers and anyone pricing long-term power or green-charging claims in Southeast Asia should listen for realistic timelines, not targets.

Topic isn't announced, so there's little to judge yet. A university-hosted technical slot in a region short on charging and storage engineering talent could mean grid integration, battery systems or charging research. Check the final agenda before planning around it, and ask whether the content is applied work or purely academic.

Indonesia's renewable targets depend on bankable project structures, and PLN is the sole offtaker for most of them. With PLN and a development bank (KfW) on the same stage, the real question is how offtake terms, risk allocation and concessional capital turn announced partnerships into financed projects. EV charging operators should care because the carbon intensity of Indonesia's grid determines how clean their kWh actually is.

Charger rollout is limited as much by who can install, commission and maintain equipment as by capital. A ministry speaker should be able to say what skills gaps are officially recognised, whether certification schemes exist, and how many technicians the EV targets require. Charge point operators and installers should listen for training pipelines and standards, since these will shape service quality and uptime.

Indonesia has large solar ambitions but a thin record of financed utility-scale projects. Since SMI is a state infrastructure financier, this should cover what actually unlocks capital: tariff certainty, land, grid connection or credit support for the offtaker. For EV charging, the answer indicates how fast green power supply could grow and whether renewable-backed charging is a realistic proposition.

Industrial users are the early commercial buyers of solar plus storage, and their load profiles, on-site generation and demand management are close cousins of depot and fleet charging. The key question is whether the business case rests on tariff savings, reliability or decarbonisation targets, and what payback periods are being accepted. Fleet charging developers should pay attention to the financing structures, such as PPAs and leasing, that could carry over.

Skills supply is a quiet constraint across the whole energy transition, and EV charging competes with solar, storage and grid work for the same electricians and engineers. The useful content here is concrete data on shortages by role, wage pressure and how employers are training or importing talent. Operators planning network rollouts should ask what this means for installation costs and timelines.

Diesel displacement at mines, islands and industrial sites is one of the most mature commercial cases for solar plus storage in Indonesia, and it includes a nickel producer, so the mining demand is real. For charging, it signals where battery-backed, grid-light sites are already being engineered, which is relevant to electrifying mining fleets and to charging in off-grid or weak-grid locations. Key questions are fuel savings achieved, storage sizing and the reliability record compared with diesel-only operation.

This is the core session for the audience. The billing is candid, and the panel mixes a charging solutions provider, a transit operator, a safety-focused company and a journalist. Expect to test whether the bottlenecks are utilisation and returns, grid connection, site access, standards and safety, or vehicle supply, and whether the proposed fixes are specific enough to act on. Listen for utilisation figures and who is actually carrying the capex.

Basic electricity access in remote Indonesian communities comes first and charging second, but the same grid-extension and distributed-generation work determines where EV use could ever spread beyond Java's urban core. A PLN subsidiary pitching partnership opportunities should clarify which models are open to private players and on what commercial terms. Developers of mini-grids, storage or charging for remote locations should look for the entry points.

Oil, gas and coal remain central to Indonesia's economy and export income, and the same companies hold the capital, land and retail networks that charging could use. Pertamina's participation matters because state energy firms can move on forecourt charging, batteries and hydrogen at a scale startups can't. Ask whether these producers are actually reallocating capex toward electrification or mostly protecting existing assets.

This is a hands-on session from a single inverter vendor, aimed at installers and EPCs, so expect product-specific content rather than neutral guidance. Its value is practical: wiring, configuration and commissioning of residential storage, which is the same skill base that home charging and vehicle-to-home setups depend on. Installers should leave with commissioning checklists, and buyers should weigh the vendor focus.

Grid expansion and reinforcement are the largest hidden cost in scaling charging, and PLN's balance sheet can't carry all of it. A climate finance think tank should be examining which structures could share that burden, such as blended finance, private grid investment or performance-based models. Charging operators should ask who pays for connection upgrades under each model and whether it affects tariffs or access.

Trucks are a small share of Indonesia's vehicle fleet but a disproportionate share of diesel burn and emissions, and they are the segment where depot and corridor charging economics get decided. The session should show whether the total-cost case works today, and what the binding constraints are: grid connection at depots, charger power levels, or vehicle availability and financing. Relevant for anyone sizing high-power charging for logistics, ports and industrial corridors.

Diesel replacement through solar plus storage is the most credible near-term route to power for off-grid and weak-grid sites, and it is the same architecture that later supports electrified fleets on those sites. The question is how fast these systems can be deployed, and whether diesel displacement alone pays back without carbon pricing. Charging developers should look at it as a template for building charging where the grid can't.

Motorcycles are Indonesia's mass-market EV opportunity by volume, and swapping rather than plug-in charging is the model most likely to fit them. Open questions: who owns the batteries, whether swap standards converge across operators, and whether the unit economics work without subsidy. Anyone building a four-wheeler-centric charging business should check how much of the market this leaves out.

Industrial parks concentrate large loads, tenants under pressure from export-market carbon rules, and a single landlord able to coordinate infrastructure, which makes them a natural place to bundle renewables, storage and fleet charging. The session should clarify what park operators can actually deliver on power procurement and onsite generation, given regulatory limits on private power supply. Relevant to CPOs looking for anchor-load sites with predictable demand.

Mining fleets are a high-utilization, high-power charging use case, and the title points to the real barrier: operations, safety, maintenance and workforce change rather than hardware alone. The session should give practical lessons on sequencing, site power design and what breaks when haul and support vehicles go electric. Useful for anyone selling or financing heavy-duty charging into captive fleets.

Indonesia is still early enough to choose its connector, communication-protocol and roaming standards before a legacy installed base locks in fragmentation. The costs of getting this wrong are stranded chargers, duplicated apps and a poor driver experience that slows adoption. The session should show which standards are realistic for Indonesia, who has authority to mandate them, and what happens to hardware already deployed.

C&I solar is the nearest-term driver of cheaper daytime power for commercial charging sites and fleet depots, and the panel mixes a transit operator, an investor, a development agency and an installer. The key questions are whether the next wave depends on policy change such as net-metering and grid-export rules, on financing structures, or on bundling with storage and EV loads. Worth watching for signals on where behind-the-meter capital is going.

For remote sites, the sizing of solar, battery and any remaining generator decides whether the economics beat diesel, and the same optimization problem applies to off-grid charging. The session should show how the hybrid mix is chosen, what battery duty cycles look like, and what reliability the systems actually deliver. Relevant for charging operators facing long grid-connection queues or no grid at all.

Rural electrification in an archipelago comes down to a handful of constraints: financing, logistics, tariff structure and who maintains assets after installation. The panel should separate what is policy-limited from what is capital-limited. For charging professionals, it shows where distributed generation and storage may enable future electric mobility beyond Java.

Fleets are where charging demand becomes predictable, and this panel pairs public-transport and city perspectives with logistics and ride-hailing operators. The key question is what blocks the step from pilot to scale: vehicle cost and financing, depot power, public charging reliability, or driver economics. Anyone planning depot or semi-public charging should listen for utilization assumptions and who bears the infrastructure cost.

The topic has not been announced, so treat this as a placeholder until the organizers confirm it. A one-hour technical format is the place for practical detail on specification, design or operations rather than market overview. Check the final agenda before committing, and judge it on whether it gives you something implementable.

If third-party-financed solar saves money with no capex, slow uptake points to non-price barriers: customer credit risk, contract length, rooftop and grid-code constraints, or limits on selling surplus power. The panel should name which of these actually blocks deals. The answer matters to charging operators too, because the same financing model is the likeliest route to solar-backed charging sites.

Financing, not technology, is what stalls most Indonesian clean energy and charging projects. They look bankable on a model but stall on offtaker credit, local-currency funding, and unclear risk allocation. The session should show what lenders actually need before they release capital. Developers and CPOs with pipelines but no closed funding should pay attention.

This is the key decarbonisation question for Indonesian trucking: biodiesel blending needs no new infrastructure, while electric trucks need depots, high-power charging and grid capacity. The useful output is a total-cost and duty-cycle comparison by route type, such as ferry-linked, inter-island and urban last-mile. The panel mixes an OEM, a logistics platform, a ferry operator and energy-as-a-service players, so it should expose where heavy-duty charging demand will land first. Anyone planning depot or corridor charging for freight should listen closely.

An archipelago with dispersed fishing communities has diesel-dependent cold chains and processing, which is a classic off-grid load profile. The session should clarify whether solar and storage can pay back in fisheries and which value gains (less spoilage, better prices) justify the capex. It matters to EV professionals as a test case for distributed energy in places where grid-connected charging will not arrive soon.

The gap between announced and delivered capacity is the real story in Indonesian renewables, and this panel brings PLN's renewables arms together with the state land bank. Watch for specifics on land access, grid interconnection and procurement timelines, since those drive both solar economics and the supply of clean power for charging. Developers and investors should take away which projects are close to delivery and what is still blocking the rest.

Diesel replacement in remote and island operations is where solar-plus-storage already competes on cost, and where mini-grids could later host electric two-wheelers, boats and light vehicles. The questions are how state-led programmes allocate risk, how project finance works for small remote assets, and whether charging can be a productive load rather than an afterthought. With a development financier and two solar developers on stage, expect a focus on bankability.

Mounting and installation problems are a quiet cause of cost overruns and long-term failures in solar, including the carport and canopy structures many charging sites use. A practical hour on roof types, structural limits and site-condition fixes is worth more to EPCs and site developers than another market overview. Come for lessons that can be reused on solar-powered charging hubs.

Data centres and fast charging compete for the same scarce resource: firm grid capacity near load centres. The session should show whether solar and storage can realistically cover AI-scale demand or just offset a small share, and how it compares with the power already being sought. Charging developers should watch how large loads are claiming grid connections and green power in the same regions.

Urban rooftop solar is the likeliest route to home charging powered by the household's own generation. The session should cover what limits adoption: tariff and net-metering rules, upfront cost, financing and installer quality. If the answer is that economics only work for a narrow set of households, that caps the home-solar-plus-EV story. Worth hearing for anyone sizing residential charging demand.

Retired EV and storage batteries are a looming liability and a potential resource, and Indonesia has the nickel-based supply chain to want circularity. The key issues are who owns collection and reuse, how to set standards for second-life use, and how much the regulatory framework can be settled before volumes arrive. Having PLN in the room matters, since it is both a likely second-life storage buyer and a grid operator. OEMs, CPOs and recyclers should take note of liability rules before they are written.

Grid capacity, not vehicle supply, will decide how fast Indonesia can scale both renewables and public charging. The session should address where curtailment and congestion occur, how storage is best deployed, and what that means for connection timelines. Charging operators should look for the same hints on where grid headroom exists and where on-site storage is a necessity rather than a choice.

Underserved communities set the practical test for solar and storage: can systems stay reliable and maintained after the grant money ends? The session should show what works on affordability, operations and maintenance, and local ownership. It's useful for EV professionals thinking about the long-term two-wheeler and small-vehicle charging opportunity beyond Java's cities.

Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia took different routes on incentives, charging mandates and operator models, so the useful comparison is which policy levers actually moved utilisation and which only moved announcements. With a delivery platform and a ride-hailing operator on the panel, fleet electrification should feature alongside private cars. Indonesian policymakers and CPOs should leave with a short list of transferable measures and honest notes on what did not carry over.

Solar-plus-storage is the mechanism that turns Indonesia's solar ambitions into something PLN can actually dispatch, and the same storage assets shape how much flexible capacity is available to the grid that charging load will plug into. Key questions: how are Medco's projects structured for storage sizing and tariffs, what does the PPA treatment of storage look like, and what does it do to cost per delivered kWh? Relevant to CPOs and developers pursuing renewable-backed charging supply.

Local-content rules and a 50 GW manufacturing push decide the price and availability of modules, and potentially the wider cleantech equipment Indonesia builds domestically. For charging operators the signal is about where policy is heading: domestic-content requirements that may extend to storage, inverters and chargers. Questions to press: what cell capacity exists versus module assembly, how competitive is local pricing against imports, and what is the timeline.

Topic not yet announced, so there is nothing to assess on content. Check the final agenda before committing an hour; the value depends on whether it covers solar installation, storage integration or commercial design, and how close that sits to charging deployment.

Industrial sites with weak grid supply are the same sites where depot charging and fleet electrification will hit constraints first. PV+BESS is the practical answer to unreliable power, but the open issues are financing structure, battery degradation under real duty cycles and who bears the performance risk. Worth attending for anyone planning behind-the-meter charging at factories, mines or logistics hubs.

PLN is the dominant grid operator and a major charging network builder, so any approach it presents to powering chargers where grid supply is lacking is a signal about deployment strategy. The claim to test is 'eco-friendly': what fuels the converted generators run on, what the emissions and cost per kWh look like compared with grid power, and whether this is a bridge or a permanent solution. Relevant to anyone siting chargers in remote or grid-constrained locations.

Risk allocation between developers, PLN, lenders and government is what determines whether projects reach financial close, and it shapes the cost of renewable power available to charging networks. The questions: who absorbs curtailment, offtake and land risks, and what would change bankability? Relevant to anyone signing power supply agreements or investing in Indonesian energy infrastructure.

Indonesia is a nickel and battery materials hub, so the link between EV batteries, second-life use, recycling and grid storage is a commercial question here, not a theoretical one. The panel mixes a miner, a policy researcher and an NGO, which should surface where vehicle-to-grid and second-life economics actually hold up. Relevant to charging operators weighing energy services revenue against the cost of managed charging.

Last-mile health clinics are a test case for solar and storage in places the grid does not reliably reach, the same conditions facing rural charging. The key issues are how systems are funded and maintained over the long term, since that is where off-grid projects tend to fail. Useful for anyone considering off-grid or hybrid sites.

The framing suggests installed projects exceed what licensing caps allow, which would make regulation rather than capacity the constraint on growth. Worth probing: how big the gap is, who is affected, and what regulatory change is needed. For charging operators, rooftop solar and captive generation rules directly affect the economics of solar-powered sites.

Bidirectional charging only works if the utility sets up interconnection standards, metering, tariffs and protection for distributed storage, and PLN is the party that controls those. The questions are whether PLN has a timeline, what pilots exist, and whether tariffs will pay for the flexibility V2G offers. A key session for anyone planning V2G or vehicle-integrated storage products in Indonesia.

Bankability decides which projects get built, and it is where many solar and storage proposals stall. An IEEFA-led workshop should be analytical about revenue assumptions, risk allocation and cost of capital. Useful for charging developers who need to model on-site solar and storage and want to present to lenders.

Fleet electrification decisions rest on TCO models, and the title suggests the models miss real-world factors. Likely suspects are utilization, charging downtime, electricity tariffs, demand charges, battery degradation and residual values, though the session should be judged on whether it brings actual operating data. Directly relevant to anyone selling or financing depot charging for commercial fleets.

Storage is the missing piece for Indonesia's grid: PLN's variable-renewable ambitions and any dense fast-charging rollout both depend on firming capacity that today's project economics struggle to justify. The panel mixes an insurer, a developer, a contractor and a local player, so the useful answers are about what actually drives the cost stack: financing and risk pricing, local content rules, tariff and offtake structures, and import duties. EV charging operators should listen for whether co-located storage can cut demand charges and grid-connection delays at charging sites, or whether it stays a utility-scale story.

Indonesia has announced targets for solar, storage and EVs, but each depends on grid capacity and dispatchable supply that are being built on different timelines. The key question is sequencing: if EV load arrives before grid upgrades and storage, charging networks hit connection limits, and if it arrives after, new capacity sits underused. Charging operators and investors should push for specifics on where grid constraints bind first, which investments unlock the others, and who carries the risk in the gap.

Localization is the policy lever behind Indonesia's EV strategy, tying market access and incentives to domestic content in vehicles and batteries. The panel pairs a battery maker with vehicle, mobility and charging-adjacent players, so it should test whether the supply chain can meet local-content requirements at competitive cost and on schedule. Charging operators should care because vehicle mix and volumes, especially two-wheelers, commercial fleets and cars, determine charger types, utilization and when networks can reach profitability.

V2G is often pitched as a grid asset, but its economics depend on tariff design, battery degradation costs, bidirectional hardware premiums and how much of Indonesia's EV fleet is plugged in at useful times. A presentation from PLN, the sole utility and the party that would set the rules, signals how seriously V2G is being weighed for planning and what it would take to make it viable. Watch for the benefit assumptions, the pilot-to-scale path and who gets paid, because those details decide whether charge point operators and fleet owners have a business case.
