Asia: Energy and Natural Resources

The Indonesian government has prepared a draft of a new Government Regulation (“GR”) on Electricity Supply Business ("GR Draft") as part of the efforts to accelerate the energy transition and optimisation of the electricity supply business in Indonesia. GR Draft is intended to replace GR No. 14 of 2012 on Electricity Supply Business, as amended by GR No. 23 of 2014 (“GR 14/2012”). GR Draft is still under governmental deliberation.

As India's clean energy transition accelerates, the compliance landscape is becoming increasingly demanding for captive and open access consumers.

The common requirements for Renewable Energy Power Plants (“REP”) and BESS include equipment rating norms, mandatory site documentation, display boards, WMO-compliant automatic weather stations (for plants of 10 MW and above), phasor measurement units, harmonic analysers, power plant controllers, redundant communication systems, power quality meters, graded protection systems, voltage ride-through capability, and compliance with the National Building Code and applicable noise limits.
