Tsingshan plans role in Indonesia’s 100 GW solar programme
Investment Minister Rosan Roeslani said the Chinese group had begun talks with Danantara about participating in the government programme.
China’s Tsingshan Group intends to take part in Indonesia’s planned 100 GW solar programme through cooperation with investment agency Danantara, according to Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Roeslani. He said initial discussions with the agency had already taken place.
Rosan, who also heads BKPM and serves as Danantara’s chief executive, outlined the plans on 8 October 2026 at a nickel downstreaming groundbreaking and inaugural EV battery export event in Central Halmahera, North Maluku. Speaking before President Prabowo, he said the solar programme would be discussed with the coordinating minister for downstreaming and the president.
The minister said Tsingshan had also contributed to solar facilities with a capacity of 2 GW in Sumenep, East Java, on Gili Labak and Sepanjang Kecil islands. One facility was operating, while construction of the other was 75 per cent complete and expected to finish soon, he said.
Tsingshan’s Indonesian investments include the 3,000-hectare Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park, developed with Huayou Cobalt and Zhenshi Holding Group from 30 August 2018. Rosan said exports from that park and the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park together reached US$28 billion, representing 10 per cent of Indonesia’s total exports.
