Wakil Menteri Investasi dan Hilirisasi/BKPM Todotua Pasaribu membeberkan proyek hilirisasi akan berimplikasi pada murahnya harga listrik energi baru terbarukan (EBT). Hal itu terjadi jika pabrik pembuatan pembangkit EBT juga dibangun di dalam negeri.

Todotua mengungkapkan, proyek hilirisasi bisa mendukung terbangunnya pabrik rantai pasok pembangkit EBT. Pembangkit listrik tenaga surya (PLTS) contohnya, pabrik panel surya bisa terbangun dalam negeri sebagai implikasi dari proyek hilirisasi.

"So, if we can build a solar cell factory here and support the factory in producing competitive solar cells and solar panels, it will impact the economic price," Todotua said on the sidelines of the 100 Indonesian Economists Meeting at the Bank Mega Tower, Jakarta, Tuesday (October 28, 2025).

Adapun, harga jual listrik hasil pembangkit EBT dinilai menjadi tantangan utama dalam program transisi energi dalam negeri. Sejatinya, sumber EBT dalam negeri sangat beragam, namun yang potensinya dinilai besar adalah energi surya.

"There are several relatively inexpensive green energy sources, such as hydropower and hydroelectric power plants. But these sources are limited. Another factor is our potential. We have 3,700 gigawatts of potential, besides hydropower, and solar energy is the largest," he added.

Meanwhile, to develop domestic solar power plants (PLTS), the government is currently promoting a village solar power program with a total capacity of 100 GW. This is also considered to make the price of the electricity generated more economical. "Therefore, we must support this. The success of the shift to green energy or the utilization of green energy depends on our strategy for managing the selling price of the energy produced," he concluded.
