Indonesia plans to build 36 PV power plants in 2013 worth $100+ million

Repost from Clean Technica | May 3, 2013

Indonesia plans to put up 36 solar power plants in 2013.  The Indonesian government plus its local counterparts plan to fund this with one trillion rupiah (worth $l03 million) up from 700 billion rupiah last year.   The installation will be made at far flung areas.

The total solar installations in Indonesia will now total 153, up from 117.  Although Indonesia lags behind Thailand and Malaysia in solar developments, it is seen as an emerging solar market. (How about the PHL)

It is nice to know that there is a growing consciousness about solar in ASEAN.  We yet have to see this mindset in PHL.  What is going on in the PHL?  How many solar energy projects are on stream?

Are we ahead or behind Indonesia, other ASEAN countries?  What should energy leaders/managers in the country do, especially with electricity problems in Mindanao

Fossil fuels are still the in thing?   We are not adopting the modern safe, and clean renewable energy?
