Designing the Installation of Solar Panel Plant in Sunda Strait Bridge Mega Project

Sunda Strait Bridge (SSB) is a bridge connecting Java Island and Sumatra Island. The project to build the bridge that initiated almost a decade ago is currently stuck due to the lack of money and investors' interest. Geographically, the location of SSB like any other places in Indonesia has potency of utilizing of solar energy. This study aims to design the utilization of solar panel in the construction of SSB. The panel will be installed along the 29 km of the span of the bridge. This study is also integrated with previous study that designed ocean energy plant and tourism area in SSB project. The result shows that it is feasible to install solar power plant in SSB. However, the integration of all functions into the SSB still produces negative net present value. Through sensitivity analysis, it shows that the project will be feasible in some condition.
