协调投资委员会（BKPM）星期一表示，英国投资者有意投资印尼电力市场的意愿，计划投资20亿美元建设总装机容量达200兆瓦的太阳能发电站。

The Coordinating Investment Board (BKPM) said on Monday that UK investors had conveyed their interest in investing in the electricity sector in Indonesia by developing solar power plants worth US$250 million with a total capacity of 200 Megawatts (MW).

The investors conveyed their interest during one-on-one meetings in a string of investment marketing events it held in the UK last week, the BKPM said.

“They are quite serious because those investors visited Indonesia and held meetings with several related ministries and institutions to sound out the possibility of investing in the electricity sector,” BKPM chairman Franky Sibarani said as quoted by Antara in a statement in Jakarta on Monday.

He said BKPM, via its branch office in London, had helped the investors meet with state-owned electricity company PLN, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry and private Indonesian companies to discuss investment opportunities in solar power plants.

“They are currently deciding on potential areas for the development of the solar power plants, such as East Kalimantan, East Nusa Tenggara, North Sulawesi, South Kalimantan, West Kalimantan and West Nusa Tenggara,” said Franky.

He further said BKPM was committed to fully supporting the realization of the investment plans and making them “pilot projects” for renewable energy investments coming from Europe.

Franky said BKPM would facilitate investors in obtaining investment permits and realizing the investment projects in the designated areas. Among measures the government had conducted to push investments in the electricity sector was simplifying license procedures from 49 permits in 923 days to 25 permits in 256 days.

Franky said the government also gave a “tax allowance” facility for investments in the electricity sector, with a standardized tax allowance request submission process of a maximum of 28 days through at the BKPM’s one-stop integrated service unit (PTSP)
