Jakarta.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources plans to auction Rp 34 billion
($2.6 million) worth of rooftop solar panels for government and public
buildings this year.
The
ministry is conducting a study on several buildings and airports in order to
determine the demand for electricity and the layout of the solar panels, said
Maritje Hutapea, director of renewable energy at the ministry over the weekend.
The
government plans to install solar panels at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta,
Bogor Palace, the House of Representatives and the office of the Coordinating
Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Solar
panels will also be installed at several airports, including Tambulaka, Maumere
and Labuan Bajo, all of which are in East Nusa Tenggara. Surabaya city
government has also expressed an interest in installing solar panels on the
roof of its building.
State
utility company Perusahaan Listrik Negara will buy any excess electricity from
the solar panels, Maritje said.
