A Danish-Indonesian research group says Indonesia needs updated grid code standards to integrate higher shares of renewable energy and support its solar expansion, according to a report published 7 January 2026.

The study’s lead author, Majid Ali, said outdated or weak grid codes are a major bottleneck for renewable deployment. He added that wider changes are also needed, including grid investment, regulatory reform, financing, and stronger institutions.

Researchers assessed technical requirements for integrating large volumes of renewable generation at the distribution level. They compared Indonesia’s planned grid code with existing standards, including those used in Denmark and those developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
