Formulating Solar Power Plant Development Policy, BRIN Visits SEI

Bandung (8/6/23), The Directorate of Research, Technology and Innovation Policy Formulation of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) visited PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI) in order to prepare a Policy Study on the Development of Technology and Innovation for Solar Power Plant Systems (PLTS). The group was received by GM Engineering & Technology Development, Eric Agustian and GM Business Development, Kurniawan and Team.

This visit was motivated by the condition at the end of 2021, Indonesia's electricity generation reached 73,736 megawatts (MW) or 73.74 gigawatts (GW). Steam Power Plants (PLTU) are still the largest contributor to generation with 36.98 GW or 50% of total electricity generation. Gas and Steam Power Plants (PLTGU) contributed 12.41 GW or 17% of total generation. Then, Gas or Gas Engine Power Plants (PLTG/MG) produced 8.54 GW (11%). Furthermore, Hydroelectric Power Plants, Minihydro, or Microhydro (PLTA/M/MH) produced 6.41 GW (9%) and Diesel Power Plants (PLTD) produced 4.99 GW (7%). Finally, Solar Power Plants (PLTS) only produced 0.152 GW (0.2%) and other renewable energy power plants produced 2.07 GW (3%). It is clear that there is a very wide gap between the current realization of PLTS capacity and the target that must be achieved in the National Energy General Plan (RUEN) of 6.5 GW by 2025. Of course, to catch up on this gap, in the next three years, an additional PLTS capacity of more than 2 GW is needed each year.

Based on this, the agenda of this visit is intended to collect data, information and problems that are developing in companies engaged in Renewable Energy, especially in the development of technology and innovation of Solar Power Generation Systems (PLTS). Solar Power Generation is considered superior and competitive, even the International Energy Agency (IEA) calls solar energy the king of electricity because it records the highest annual growth compared to other renewable energies.

"We hope that this visit to SEI will be the right agenda to provide output or input for us in formulating the Policy in the Development of Solar Power Generation Technology," said the group leader, Agung Wijono in his speech. In addition to discussions and questions and answers, the group from the Directorate of Research, Technology and Innovation Policy Formulation of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) was invited to tour the Solar Farm Area located in the company's rooftop area. Specifically in this meeting agenda, the Director of PT Surya Energi Indotama for the 2012-2016 leadership period, Agus Iswanto had the opportunity to attend and accompany the entire series of events.**

Visiting SEI, Tri Mumpuni Discusses Strategy to Advance Solar Power Plant Industry in Indonesia

BANDUNG – One of the members of the Steering Committee of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Tri Mumpuni visited PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI) on Monday (27/3). This visit was a follow-up to the previous meeting to discuss the development of the New and Renewable Energy (EBT) Industry, especially solar energy in Indonesia.

As a pioneering solar energy company in Indonesia which is also a subsidiary of a BUMN, it is only right that SEI gets a big opportunity to develop the solar energy-based energy and electricity industry in Indonesia. This was expressed by Tri Mumpuni in a discussion session with the SEI Board of Directors and the ranks of PT Surya Energi Indotama.

Tri Mumpuni, who is also included in the list of the Most Influential Indonesian Muslim Scientists in the World according to The World's 500 Most Influential Muslims 2021 report, listens to all aspirations, the latest information, and innovations that are currently happening in the world of solar energy, especially from the perspective of industry players. This is then elaborated together to formulate the next strategic steps for each problem that occurs.

Apart from that, this woman who was born in 1964 is amazed by the existence of SEI which has existed for 15 years. Although SEI has not achieved a high figure in terms of total installed PLTS capacity, SEI has been able to expand the reach of solar energy benefits to remote areas with thousands of small to medium capacity project points. This is in line with its mission to improve the welfare of people in remote areas to gain equality and benefits from new renewable energy.

The discussion was also attended by SEI President Director Bambang Iswanto, SEI Marketing and Business Development Director I Made Sandika Dwiantara, Engineering and Operations Director Fajar Miftahul Falah, GM Engineering & Technology Development Eric Agustian, Secretariat Manager M. Dedy, and other company officials. The hope of holding this visit and discussion is of course to form a strategy and concrete steps in facing the challenges of the new renewable energy industry in Indonesia. In addition, this is a good momentum for SEI to be able to open up new opportunities for cooperation with both BRIN and other government institutions in the development and utilization of solar energy in Indonesia.

SEI Contributes to Preserving Arts and Culture Through the “Ramayana” Art Performance

JAKARTA - As a form of SEI's contribution to the preservation of traditional arts and culture, SEI also provides support for traditional artists in the 2023 Ramayana Performance through the Arts & Culture Pillar Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This performance is held as a form of appreciation for traditional arts by involving almost 200 dancers, musicians, actors and artists, as well as associations.

The Ramayana Performance was held on February 28, 2023 at the Taman Ismail Marzuki Grand Theater in Jakarta. This performance is a collaboration between the Krida Hambeksa Association, PSTK, and IAITB. Krida Hambeksa itself is a community node that is a gathering place for "amateur artists" from various associations, studios, and arts clubs in Jabodetabek. Krida Hambeksa personnel consist of various groups and generations, ranging from students, college students, housewives, retirees, and professionals. The thing that binds them together is their strong love for arts and culture, especially Javanese traditional arts.

The Ramayana performance that carries the concept of wayang wong or wayang orang itself tells the story of Ramawijaya's struggle to save his wife Dewi Sinta who was kidnapped by Rahwana and held captive for 14 years. During that time, Dewi Sinta remained faithful waiting for her husband to come and save her from Rahwana's evil behavior.

Along with the progress and development of the times, performances like Ramayana are starting to be rare. With this wayang orang performance, it is hoped that it will be able to increase awareness of culture.

Elly D. Luthan as the Director of this performance expressed her gratitude for the support that has been given for the continuity of this Ramayana performance. On the other hand, Elly hopes that performances like this can continue to be preserved by the younger generation.

"We really hope that this performance can continue and can provide opportunities for young people, even children, to gather in the arts." Elly said.

Elly also emphasized how happiness is easy to obtain as long as we do not forget about the roots of culture.

In this case, SEI also contributes to supporting the preservation of traditional wayang orang culture by providing guidance and empowerment to art groups through Krida Hambeksa while also helping community social activities by providing opportunities for children at Rumah Orphan Muslimin to participate in performing activities as a form of space for expression.

SEI Presents Contribution and Survival Strategy in Solar Energy Sector at Indonesia Best Electricity Award (IBEA) 2023

JAKARTA - Indonesia Best Electricity Award (IBEA) 2023 was successfully held on February 22-23, 2023. Held at the Ballroom of the Bidakara Hotel Jakarta, IBEA 2023 involved all academics, government officials, and companies engaged in the field of New and Renewable Energy (EBT), including PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI).

As a pioneering EBT company in Indonesia, especially solar energy, SEI has contributed greatly to advancing the domestic PLTS industry. Thousands of PLTS project points worked on by SEI have spread from Sabang to Merauke. In IBEA 2023, SEI also participated as an exhibitor and also fulfilled the invitation to present in front of the judges as one of the finalists of IBEA 2023.

SEI is one of 31 companies that have been nominated for the Indonesia Best Electricity Award (IBEA) 2023. All of them show off their skills in implementing renewable energy in their respective companies. This is one of the jury's assessments.

I Made Sandika Dwiantara as SEI's Marketing and Business Development Director represented SEI in a 10-minute presentation and Q&A session in front of the judges. Made explained how SEI has been able to survive in the solar energy industry for 15 years, especially when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. SEI should be proud because during the pandemic, the company's performance continued to show good performance. The company's revenue is above 1 trillion and profits are above 100 billion.

"The anomaly is that when faced with Covid conditions, we were actually able to take advantage of the gap with productivity that is all from home. We are able to provide services and offer solutions to ministries that need them. So that it increases our performance both in terms of contracts and income. "said Made in his presentation.

In addition, SEI also opened a booth at the Exhibition which was still held in the same place. This exhibition is an opportunity for SEI to again increase brand awareness to the public, especially now that there are more and more companies in the solar energy sector. SEI has high hopes that public awareness of the use of new renewable energy will be accompanied by their decision to use SEI's solution products.
