Surabaya also has the Benowo Waste Power Plant (PSEL), which is the first of its kind in Indonesia. Irvan said that successful energy efficiency requires collaboration from all parties.
High Initial Investment Costs:One of the primary challenges facing the battery energy storage market in Indonesia is the high initial investment required for deployment. The average cost of installing a battery energy storage system can range from IDR 1 billion to IDR 3 billion (USD 70,000 to USD 210,000) per megawatt-hour.
“For these reasons, Surabaya is being positioned as a showcase for energy transition and building sector efficiency through SETI. We aim to ensure its economic growth goes hand in hand with decarbonization efforts, creating a low-carbon and sustainable urban environment,” she added.
Backed by strong local potential and solid international support, Surabaya is set to become a national model in achieving a sustainable energy transition. This initiative not only accelerates the country's path to reduced carbon emissions but also strengthens Surabaya's reputation as a modern, environmentally responsible city.
