Y need to use land ? Put on water even more efficient, it provides cooling for the solar panels as well.

This is stupid ... they should do as much as possible to get people to install solar on their homes, that will spread out the generating capacity and will reuse space (roofs) instead of clearing large swaths of land that can be used for something else - especially if it results in deforestation.

Also if you're providing incentives for people to install solar in their homes you dont have much if any capital outlay either.

This is why you see in other advanced countries they dont generally build big solar plants but get their residents to put up solar on their roofs. Its a win win win situation.

But here ... build big big power plants so that certain parties can benefit with crony deals, its the case with coal plants, damns, and now solar plants.

There's already a program from SEDA called NEM 3.0 but it's not lucrative. ROI too long for consumer

I am a user, are you one too?

No I inquired about this before. Many advise me since my bill is between 200 - 300 a month, not worth to install solar...better to do energy savings...which I did

Sebab hard to lay straight cable from S'wak to Semenanjung, as you have Riau (Indonesia) in the middle.

Bakun dam can produce a lot more than local demand. They need to convince Kalimantan to buy from them. Hopefully Nusantara new capital city will need those power

200 no need solar la ...... ayo...but it's not 10 years as you claimed.

It's 10 years according to one of the installer calculation when I share with him my monthly bill consumption

Also I don't intend to buy EV so my bill won't go up
