<![CDATA[The increasing adoption of electric vehicles has led to higher electricity demand at Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU), requiring environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources to support their operation. This study aims to analyze the energy requirements of the PLN West Kalimantan SPKLU, evaluate the technical performance of a Solar Power Plant (PLTS), and assess the financial feasibility of its investment. Energy demand was projected using a linear regression time-series forecasting method based on historical SPKLU energy consumption data from January 2024 to December 2050. The results show that energy demand will increase from 693.55 kWh/year in 2024 to 68,302.46 kWh/year in 2050. Based on this projection, the PLTS capacity was determined using the PV system sizing method and PVsyst simulation, resulting in a 46 kWp system with annual energy production of 70,200 kWh, a Performance Ratio (PR) of 83.11%, and a Solar Fraction (SF) of 67.14%. Financial analysis using NPV, BCR, IRR, and Payback Period indicates that the PLTS investment is feasible. This study confirms that PLTS can fulfill the energy needs of the PLN West Kalimantan SPKLU while supporting the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem and Indonesia’s clean energy transition.
