This study reviews the comparison between two popular methods in capital budgeting analysis, namely Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Payback Period (PP), applied in the investment decision-making process at PT Pertamina (Persero). As a state-owned company in the energy sector that runs various important projects, Pertamina needs to evaluate investment feasibility efficiently. IRR is used to assess the effectiveness of long-term investments by taking into account all cash flows as well as the time value of money, while PP emphasizes more on how quickly the initial capital can be returned. This article uses a literature study method with a descriptive-qualitative approach to explore the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The results of the discussion show that IRR provides a more precise picture of long-term investment returns, while PP is useful for identifying projects that quickly return capital. Nonetheless, the use of each method alone is not comprehensive enough. Therefore, it is recommended that Pertamina integrate IRR and PP with other approaches such as Net Present Value (NPV) and sensitivity analysis to support more comprehensive and strategic investment decisions.

Indonesia is currently very dependent on fossil energy, the availability of which is limited and has an emission effect on the environment. To sustain the availability of electrical energy, alternative energy sources are needed in the form of renewable energy, one of which is the Solar Power Plant (PLTS). This research discusses the design of an On Grid PLTS system in the park at Campus II, Pamulang University using Pvsyst 7.2 software by taking into account technical and economic aspects in three scenarios. In scenario 1, the On Grid PLTS is designed to suit the energy needs of the Pamulang University Campus II park, while in scenario 2 it uses an OFF Grid system and in scenario 3 it uses a Hybrid PLTS system (PLN+Batteries). Economic aspects are calculated using the Net Present Value (NPV) and Discounted Payback Period (DPP) methods. Technically, the Performance Ratio obtained was 83.59% and 83.53% respectively with Solar Fraction of 62.64% and 70.15% respectively. Economically, the NPV value obtained is positive and the investment return period is 7.78 years and 7.8 years respectively. So, designing an On Grid PLTS in the park of Pamulang University's Campus II is considered feasible.
