EXECUTIVE BRIEF: Emerging BESS Business Models and Investment Opportunities in Indonesia
Executive Summary
Indonesia’s growing electricity demand and renewable energy expansion are creating new opportunities for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Under the RUPTL 2025–2034, planned projects include approximately 6 GW of standalone BESS and 3.6 GW of solar-plus-BESS hybrid capacity, requiring an estimated USD 5 billion in BESS investment.
Commercial deployment will depend on viable business models and financing structures. Tolling agreements could enable private developers to own BESS facilities while PLN pays for the right to utilize them. For solar-plus-BESS projects, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) allow PLN to purchase electricity from developers under long-term contracts.
Industrial estates with existing utility infrastructure may also benefit from BESS through improved energy management and additional electricity services. Alongside domestic battery manufacturing and planned solar power expansion, these applications could create new business and investment opportunities in Indonesia. International case studies provide useful references for developing commercially viable BESS projects.
Key Takeaways
- Growing Demand for Energy Storage: Indonesia’s electricity generation structure, expanding renewable energy plans, and geographically dispersed power networks create opportunities for BESS applications ranging from grid balancing to solar-plus-storage systems.
- Diversifying Business Models: BESS can generate economic value through electricity price arbitrage, contracted grid services, solar-plus-storage projects, and industrial energy management, depending on market conditions and regulatory frameworks.
- PLN and Private Investment: Long-term tolling agreements could enable private developers and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to invest in standalone BESS while reducing PLN’s immediate capital expenditure requirements. Solar-plus-BESS projects may also attract private investment through PPAs, which allow developers to recover investment costs through contracted electricity sales.
- Opportunities for Industrial Estates: Industrial estates with concentrated electricity demand and existing utility infrastructure may benefit from BESS through peak-demand management, reduced electricity costs, improved supply reliability, and additional energy services.
- Domestic Industrial Development: Indonesia’s planned solar power expansion, domestic battery manufacturing, and proposed solar panel production could create opportunities for BESS-related equipment, system integration, and supporting industries.
- Background: Growth of the BESS Market
Indonesia’s electricity system remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, particularly coal-fired power generation. Fossil fuels accounted for approximately 82% of electricity generation in 2024. The state-owned utility PLN plays a central role in electricity supply, supported by Independent Power Producers (IPPs), while some industrial facilities and industrial estates operate their own power generation and distribution infrastructure. Indonesia’s geographical characteristics also create regional differences, with major interconnected grids in Java and Sumatra alongside smaller, isolated electricity networks across the archipelago.
These conditions create opportunities for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Conventional thermal power plants, particularly coal-fired plants, have limited flexibility in adjusting their output. By storing electricity during periods of low demand and releasing it during peak consumption, BESS can help balance electricity supply and demand while improving the utilization of existing generation infrastructure.
BESS also plays an important role in renewable energy integration. Solar power generation is concentrated during daylight hours and fluctuates with weather conditions. By storing surplus solar electricity and supplying it when needed, BESS can improve supply stability and extend electricity availability beyond daylight hours. In Indonesia, solar-plus-BESS systems may be particularly valuable in remote and island regions, where they can reduce dependence on diesel-fired generation.
Meanwhile, the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) battery production has contributed to declining battery costs and improved performance. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global new battery storage installations reached 108 GW in 2025, approximately 40% higher than the previous year. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries accounted for around 90% of new deployments, reflecting their competitive costs and long cycle life. This growth is also creating opportunities for further diversification of battery-related industries.
- BESS Application and Commercial Models
As the BESS market expands, commercial opportunities are emerging in electricity grid operations, renewable energy integration, and industrial energy management. The economic value of these applications depends on electricity pricing, contractual arrangements, and the allocation of investment and operational responsibilities.
2.1 Grid-Scale BESS: Energy Trading and Grid Services
Grid-scale BESS can support electricity networks through supply-demand balancing, frequency regulation, and peak-demand management. In electricity markets with time-varying prices, BESS can also generate revenue through electricity price arbitrage by charging when prices are low and discharging when prices are high.
However, commercial arrangements depend on market structures and regulations. In Indonesia, where electricity supply is largely managed by PLN, long-term contractual arrangements may provide a more practical framework for private investment than direct participation in electricity trading.
One potential model is a Tolling Agreement, under which a private developer finances, owns, and maintains a BESS facility, while PLN pays for the right to utilize and dispatch the system. PLN can capture the operational benefits of storage, while the developer receives contractual payments, potentially based on capacity or availability.
Such agreements can provide predictable long-term revenues and support private project financing while reducing PLN’s immediate capital investment requirements. Commercial viability depends on contract terms, equipment performance, and the allocation of operating and maintenance responsibilities.
2.2 Solar Power Combined with BESS (Solar + BESS PPA)
Combining solar power with BESS allows surplus daytime generation to be stored and supplied later, improving electricity supply flexibility and reducing renewable energy curtailment.
Under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), PLN or another authorized electricity purchaser buys electricity from the project developer under agreed contractual terms. The contracted payments can support the recovery of investment costs in both solar generation and battery storage.
In Indonesia, solar-plus-BESS projects are particularly relevant to remote and island regions, where they can improve supply reliability and reduce dependence on diesel-fired generation.
2.3 Energy Services for Industrial Facilities and Industrial Estates
BESS can help factories and industrial estates manage peak electricity demand, integrate solar generation, and improve supply reliability. Industrial estates, with concentrated electricity demand across multiple tenants, offer opportunities to coordinate consumption through Energy Management Systems (EMS).
Some industrial estates rely on PLN for electricity supply, while others operate their own generation and distribution infrastructure. Depending on electricity tariffs and operating conditions, BESS may reduce electricity procurement or generation costs, improve infrastructure utilization, and reduce the need for additional peak-generation capacity.
Potential commercial arrangements include direct investment by industrial estate developers or private utilities, joint ventures with energy service providers, and third-party ownership under long-term service contracts. Economic returns may arise from electricity cost savings, energy service fees, or shared savings arrangements.
For industrial estate developers, BESS could become an extension of existing utility businesses. Commercial viability depends on electricity pricing, tenant demand patterns, and the ability to capture the financial benefits generated by storage.
- Global BESS Business Case Studies
International projects illustrate different approaches to BESS deployment, including grid-scale infrastructure, industrial energy services, contractual financing, and electricity market participation. These cases provide useful references for developing BESS businesses and investment models in Indonesia.
3.1 Grid-Scale BESS as Power Infrastructure: Singapore
Sembcorp Industries operates a grid-scale BESS facility on Jurong Island, Singapore, supporting electricity supply-demand balancing and grid stability. The facility began operations in December 2022 with a storage capacity of 285 MWh. In October 2025, Sembcorp announced an expansion to 326 MWh using a vertical battery stacking solution without requiring additional land.
Implications for Indonesia: Grid-scale BESS could strengthen electricity infrastructure in major industrial regions, while expansion within existing facilities may help address land constraints.
3.2 Integrated Energy Services for Industrial Estates: Thailand
WHA Utilities & Power (WHAUP), a subsidiary of industrial estate developer WHA Group, has integrated solar generation and BESS into its utility operations. In 2021, WHAUP commenced operations of a project combining 820 kWp of solar generation with 550 kWh of BESS at a water treatment facility in Rayong. The project required approximately THB 25 million in investment and was expected to reduce annual electricity costs by THB 4 million.
In May 2026, WHAUP also announced a 10 MW solar and 20 MWh BESS project for food producer Saha Farm.
Implications for Indonesia: Industrial estate developers could integrate BESS into existing utility operations to reduce energy costs and expand services for tenants. Similar initiatives are being explored in Indonesia, where Jababeka and Pertamina announced plans in September 2026 to incorporate BESS alongside solar power and other energy sources into industrial estate energy solutions, although the BESS component remains at the planning stage.
3.3 Contract-Based Financing for Industrial BESS: Poland
In June 2026, Switzerland-based Solas Capital announced financing for three BESS installations at automotive manufacturing facilities in Poland, totaling 25 MW / 50 MWh. Quanta Energy is responsible for project development, while a fund managed by Solas Capital provides secured financing.
The investment is supported by fixed contractual cash flows from an investment-grade automotive manufacturer and an EU-backed credit loss guarantee. The facilities are expected to begin operations by the end of 2026.
Implications for Indonesia: Long-term energy service contracts and external financing could enable manufacturers and industrial estate operators to adopt BESS without bearing the full upfront investment, provided contractual revenues and risks are appropriately structured.
3.4 Virtual Power Plants and Electricity Market Participation: China
In August 2026, Jinko ESS announced the deployment of 90 commercial and industrial BESS installations totaling 23.49 MWh in Shandong Province, China.
The systems integrate battery storage, solar generation, industrial electricity demand, and EV charging through an Energy Management System (EMS). They are also connected to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), which digitally coordinates distributed energy resources. Unlike conventional power plants, VPPs can manage both electricity supply and consumption by coordinating battery operations and adjusting flexible electricity demand at participating facilities.
Implications for Indonesia: Industrial estates could explore coordinating BESS, solar generation, and flexible electricity demand across multiple tenants through EMS and VPP technologies, potentially creating additional energy services as regulations develop.
3.5 Second-Life EV Batteries for Commercial Energy Storage: United States
B2U Storage Solutions develops commercial BESS facilities using repurposed electric vehicle batteries. Its SEPV Sierra facility in California has a capacity of 8 MW / 32 MWh and utilizes more than 1,300 second-life EV batteries to provide electricity and grid services through the wholesale electricity market.
In December 2025, B2U announced USD 45 million in structured financing for a portfolio of seven battery storage projects.
Implications for Indonesia: As domestic EV battery production and adoption expand, second-life BESS could create opportunities in battery assessment, repurposing, and recycling. Its commercial viability, however, must be evaluated against declining new battery costs.
- Indonesia Power Sector and BESS Market Development
4.1 Electricity Development Plans and BESS Demand
Indonesia’s Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL 2025–2034) includes 17.1 GW of new solar power capacity. The plan also encompasses approximately 6 GW of standalone BESS and 3.6 GW of solar-plus-BESS hybrid project capacity.
Standalone BESS is expected to support grid balancing and stability, particularly in major electricity networks such as Java and Sumatra. Solar-plus-BESS projects are especially relevant to remote and island regions, where they can improve electricity supply and reduce dependence on diesel-fired generation.
In August 2026, the government launched a separate 100 GWp solar power initiative, beginning with 14 projects totaling approximately 5.3 GWp across six provinces. Although implementation will depend on financing and project execution, this initiative could further increase demand for energy storage and related infrastructure.
4.2 PLN, IPPs, and BESS Investment Models
Planned BESS projects under the RUPTL will require approximately USD 5 billion in investment between 2026 and 2034, with around USD 3 billion allocated to PLN and USD 2 billion to private sector investment.
PLN is expected to lead standalone BESS development for major electricity networks, while Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are expected to participate primarily in solar-plus-BESS projects. However, PLN also faces substantial investment requirements for generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, increasing the importance of private capital.
Full tolling agreements represent a potential business model for standalone BESS, allowing private developers to finance and own storage facilities while PLN secures the right to utilize them through long-term contractual payments. For solar-plus-BESS projects, long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) provide a framework for private investment and cost recovery.
Although initial regulatory frameworks exist for hybrid projects, commercial arrangements for standalone BESS remain less developed. Greater clarity regarding service payments, operational responsibilities, and contractual risks will therefore be essential to attracting investment.
4.3 Domestic Battery Manufacturing and Industrial Development
Indonesia is expanding its domestic battery manufacturing capacity, creating potential links between BESS deployment and industrial development. PT Contemporary Amperex Technology Indonesia Battery (CATIB), a joint venture involving Indonesia Battery Corporation and a CATL-led consortium, began operations at its Karawang facility in July 2026. The plant has an initial annual production capacity of 6.9 GWh, serving both EV and BESS markets.
The government is also promoting domestic solar panel manufacturing. In March 2026, approximately USD 1.4 billion in investment associated with domestic solar manufacturing facilities was reported as part of efforts to support national solar power development.
The expansion of solar generation and energy storage could create additional demand for battery systems, power conversion equipment, Energy Management Systems (EMS), and installation and maintenance services. These developments may support the diversification of Indonesia’s battery-related industries beyond battery cell manufacturing.
- Commercial Value and Investment Considerations
BESS can generate economic benefits for multiple stakeholders, but these benefits do not always translate directly into returns for the entity financing the investment. The allocation of costs, revenues, and risks is therefore an important consideration for commercial project development.
| Stakeholder | Potential Economic Benefits | Key Commercial Considerations |
| Utilities and Grid Operators | Grid Stability, peak-demand management, and improved infrastructure utilization | Valuation of storage services, regulatory frameworks, and long-term contractual payments |
| Factories and Industrial Facilities | Electricity cost savings, peak-demand reduction, and improved supply reliability | Electricity tariffs, demand patterns, and service contract conditions |
| Industrial Estate Developers | Coordinated tenant energy management, improved utility services, and new business opportunities | Existing infrastructure, tenant participation, and allocation of costs and benefits |
| Renewable Energy Developers | Reduced curtailment and more flexible electricity delivery | PPA terms, storage costs, and battery performance |
| Energy Storage Developers and Investors | Revenue from storage services and long-term contracts | Revenue predictability, battery degradation, financing costs, and counterparty risks |
BESS projects involve significant upfront investment, technological uncertainties, and long-term operational risks. Concentrating these risks on a single investor may discourage project development, particularly in emerging markets. Joint investments, long-term service contracts, and shared savings arrangements can help distribute financial responsibilities among stakeholders benefiting from BESS deployment, while allocating specific risks to those best positioned to manage them.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for BESS projects in Indonesia is estimated at 9–11%. As projects establish predictable revenues and operational track records, they may become more attractive to infrastructure funds and institutional investors. Appropriate risk-sharing arrangements and capital recycling could further support private investment and market development.
Skylight Opionion
The expansion of BESS could transform not only how electricity is supplied and consumed, but also how electricity businesses create economic value. By enabling electricity storage, flexible dispatch, and coordinated demand management, BESS may expand business opportunities beyond conventional power generation and sales to include grid services, energy management, and integrated energy solutions.
For Indonesia, this transformation could create new opportunities for PLN, independent power producers, industrial estate developers, and energy service providers. In particular, industrial estates with existing utility infrastructure could develop new service models by integrating BESS, solar generation, and Energy Management Systems (EMS), improving energy efficiency while providing additional value to tenants.
The expansion of energy storage, together with domestic battery manufacturing and planned solar power development, could also support the growth of related industries, including battery system assembly, power conversion equipment, energy management technologies, and maintenance services. However, developing commercially viable BESS businesses will require appropriate regulatory frameworks, long-term contractual arrangements, and mechanisms to distribute costs and risks among stakeholders benefiting from their deployment.
