Abstract—Indonesia as an active country in the development of renewable energy in power generation has set the target of renewable energy contribution in National Energy Mix in 2025 and 2050. One of the most attractive Solar PV application in Indonesia is grid-connected solar photovoltaic power plant. It can be built on huge capacity, depend on stiffness of the system. The Indonesia Government has issued Presidential Decree No 22/2017 on the National General Energy Plan which states that the contribution of renewable energy in the national energy mix in 2025 should be at least 23% and in 2050 should be at least 31%. On such national regulation, contribution of solar energy in the national energy mix is targeted 4.6 % at 2025. The target is equivalent to total Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant capacity of 6.5 GW.
However, during the last 5 years Indonesia has issued 3 technical regulations regarding feed in tariff for renewable energy power plant including Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV). Those are: (1) Regulation of the MEMR on Utilization of Renewable Energy Resources, (2) Regulation of the MEMR on Purchase of Electricity from Solar Photovoltaics (Solar PV) by PLN, (3) Regulation of the MEMR on the Purchase of Electricity from Solar Photovoltaics (Solar PV) by PLN. Summary of content of the regulations are shown in Fig 1.

The result of the model shows that fit policy changes impact on Grid-Connected Solar PV capacity growth in Indonesia. The two previous Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 17/2013 and 19/2016 can boost installed PV because of the attractive electricity-selling price of Grid-connected Solar PV. Decrease of electricity selling price according to Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 12/2017 is expected to have an impact on the declining growth in Grid-connected Solar PV capacity in Indonesia. Thus, it is recommended that regulatory improvements could encourage the growth of Grid-connected Solar PV capacity while simultaneously lowering the electricity production cost in each region.
