Realizing Green Industry, Now Textile Industry Switches to Renewable Energy

The global textile industry is currently undergoing a major shift towards more environmentally friendly production practices. This is driven by the European Union's carbon tax policy on imported products entering their territory. This policy requires the Indonesian textile industry to immediately adapt by implementing sustainable and low-carbon production processes in order to remain competitive in the international market. Now the application of solar energy in the textile industry environment is increasingly widespread. In addition to saving electricity, reducing carbon emissions and being environmentally friendly can be generated in the industry and product competitiveness can be optimized.

PT Sembcorp Energy Indonesia and PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI) as Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) built a Solar Panel Rooftop with a total capacity of 4.9 MWp at PT Delta Merlin Sandang Tekstil 1, Sragen, Central Java. The purpose of installing this Solar Panel Rooftop is as a form of contribution to an environmentally friendly industry, as well as optimizing the clean energy produced by the Solar Panel Rooftop. The Solar Panel Rooftop system used is an on-grid spread across 2 buildings.

"This renewable energy is cheaper than what we have been running, the hope is that from an operational perspective we can reduce costs, so that our production can compete again," said Jordi Pratama, Factory Manager of PT DMST 1.

In the course of this Solar Panel Rooftop project, intense communication and coordination are the main roles with related parties. "The challenges we face are weather factors, where entering the rainy season, the second is the Lifting process, we have to distribute more than eight thousand PV Modules spread across 2 buildings, Alhamdulillah even though there are many obstacles in the field, this project can be completed," said Asep Surojudin, SEI Site Coordinator.

With full precision and proper coordination, this project has been completed and its benefits can be felt. It is hoped that the Solar Panel Rooftop can have a positive impact on the operational side of the factory. "For SEI, the involvement of this Solar Panel Rooftop project is real proof of our commitment to supporting clean and renewable energy in Indonesia," said Febrian Lutfi, Project Manager SEI.

Let's support clean energy in Indonesia!

Green Skills in the Spotlight, Ridwan Kurnia Stresses the Importance of HR

Jakarta (30/04/2025) – In order to encourage the development of a green workforce ecosystem in Indonesia, the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas held the Indonesia’s Green Jobs Conference (IGJC) 2025 at the Pullman Hotel, Jakarta. Carrying the main theme “Turning Vision into Action”, this conference also became the official launch event for the Indonesian Green Workforce Development Roadmap.

One of the parallel sessions that attracted attention was the discussion themed “Innovation and Initiatives in Sustainable Practices through Green Skills”. Ridwan Kurnia, Director of Engineering and Operations, was present as a speaker in this session, along with three other speakers from various backgrounds: Ulrike Lehr (Senior Researcher at the Global Resource Unit, GWS Germany), Ahmad Khulaemi (Main Expert Widyaiswara, PPSDM KEBTKE, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources), and Aysifa Isvari (Senior Consultant, SRE Woman).

In his presentation, Ridwan emphasized that Indonesia is currently facing major challenges in developing renewable energy, especially solar power, due to the lack of skilled and experienced human resources.

"Actually, we lack skilled and experienced human resources in the Green Industry, especially PLTS. That's why we always actively collaborate with educational institutions in providing input regarding what knowledge is actually needed in the field, so that it is hoped that it will become one of the curricula on campus. If not, this will be a serious problem because the needs of the industry continue to grow, while the supply of skilled workers is not balanced," said Ridwan in front of the audience.

He explained that in his company, around 70% of crucial positions are filled by technicians. Furthermore, Ridwan mapped out the three main categories of strategic positions, namely: Design Engineering, System Engineering and other examples such as Project Planning and Marketing which are the link between the technical and commercial sides, as well as mapping the potential of the project as a whole.

The enthusiasm of the participants was very high in this session. This can be seen from the many questions that came in, both directly and through online channels. One of the questions that stood out was about "What technical skills are needed to support work in the Green industry, especially Solar Panel?"

Responding to this, Ridwan emphasized the importance of cross-disciplinary skills, such as mastery of energy simulation software, understanding of electrical engineering, expertise certification and project management skills.

"The future workforce in the green sector needs to be adaptive, have technological insight, and be able to work across functions. This is not just about technical matters, but also the ability to think systemically," he added.

This session also featured various perspectives, including from Ulrike Lehr who explained global trends in the energy transition and the contribution of green jobs to economic growth. Meanwhile, Aysifa Isvari discussed the importance of women's involvement in the renewable energy sector, as well as how to build equal access and training.

Ahmad Khulaemi added from the government's perspective, that currently PPSDM KEBTKE, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is developing a technical training program based on field needs in the field of EBTKE (New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation).

The session was closed with a standing ovation from the participants, indicating the high public interest in the issue of green skills. As a form of appreciation, the committee gave plaques of appreciation to all speakers for their contributions and ideas.

The IGJC 2025 Conference is expected to be an important milestone in spurring collaboration between the government, industry players, academics, and the community in preparing superior human resources to support the energy transition and sustainable development in Indonesia.**
