PT Len Board of Commissioners Visits Nusa Penida Hybrid PLTS at 2022 Monitoring and Evaluation

BALI - As one of the annual routine agendas, the Board of Commissioners of PT Len Industri (Persero) conducted Monitoring and Evaluation (Monev) activities in 2022 to the project sites of each of Len's subsidiaries. This is done in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises PER-01/MBU/2021 concerning the Implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG).

This time, the Board of Commissioners had the opportunity to visit one of SEI's projects, namely the Hybrid PLTS located in Nusa Penida Bali. This project is a collaboration between SEI and PT Pertamina Power and Hitachi which is also one of the showcases of New and Renewable Energy at the G20 event.

This 4.2 MWp Hybrid PLTS is a project owned by PT Indonesia Power. SEI is trusted as the EPC responsible for the design, construction, and operation of the PLTS. This power plant, which combines solar and diesel energy, is capable of producing 6,387 MWh or equivalent to the needs of 3,000 homes.

The Monev agenda was attended by Bambang Kusharto, Rindoko Dahono, Helvi Yuni Moraza and Dean Arlsan as the Board of Commissioners of PT Len. The monev agenda was also accompanied by the entire SEI Board of Directors, namely SEI President Director Bambang Iswanto, Director of Marketing and Business Development I Made Sandika Dwiantara and Director of Engineering & Operations Fajar Miftahul Falah.

The board of commissioners greatly appreciates the Nusa Penida Hybrid PLTS project "The Nusa Penida Hybrid PLTS project is an extraordinary project. In addition to meeting the energy supply in Nusa Penida with Hybrid, the project terrain there is also quite difficult because of the difficult location and hard rocks. With all the difficulties that exist, SEI can complete it well and according to the specified time frame." Rindoko said.

As a subsidiary of Len, SEI is expected to be able to compete to become a trusted renewable energy company and have global competitiveness, especially in Solar Power Plant (PLTS) products.

Zero Investment Scheme Increasingly Popular, SEI and Polyfin Sign PLTS Developer Contract

SUMEDANG – In accordance with SEI's ambition in 2022 to transform and develop its business towards a PLTS developer, SEI and PT Polyfin Canggih have signed a PLTS installation contract with a Developer scheme with a capacity of 3.6 MWp which is planned to be installed at the PT Polyfin Canggih factory in Sumedang Regency, West Java.

This signing was carried out by Jap Sun Hwei as Director of PT Polyfin Canggih and Bambang Iswanto as President Director of PT Surya Energi Indotama, which was symbolically represented by Krisna Aditya as GM Marketing of SEI. The signing process was also witnessed by several representatives of each company, including Nurjani as Retail Manager of SEI, Dyla Nadya and Ari Dachyar as Marketing staff of SEI, and Dadan Wihendar, Hendra Harjono, and Suganda Permana from PT Polyfin Canggih.

In this developer scheme, SEI becomes an investor and also a developer in the installation of Rooftop Solar Power Plants (PLTS) at PT Polyfin Canggih of 3.6 MWp which can still potentially grow to 6 MWp. The Zero Investment Scheme offered by SEI is actually increasingly in demand by the public after previously SEI also collaborated with IFPRO in the installation of PLTS at the Merak and Bakauheni Executive Terminals. Through this scheme, industry can enjoy the benefits of PLTS without having to spend money up front. All burdens are borne by SEI as the PLTS Developer, and beneficiaries only need to pay for the benefits of electricity production every month with electricity rates that are lower than conventional electricity.

Hendra Harjono from the Polyfin representative said that with the installation of PLTS with a capacity of 3.6 MWp, it is hoped that significant savings can be obtained, coupled with the zero investment system from the developer scheme that makes it easier for Polyfin.

"Other industrial sectors are expected to support this EBT Movement by installing PLTS, because our abundant solar energy would be a shame if it was not utilized," said Hendra.

The signing of this contract is a form of continuation of PT Polyfin's visit to PT Len Industri (Persero) to review the solar module fabrication and to SEI in order to discuss the plan for cooperation in installing PLTS on September 9, 2022. After a long process, finally PT Polyfin Canggih, which is one of the largest companies in the convection sector in Indonesia, has given SEI the trust to develop the use of PLTS together. With this collaboration, the installation of PLTS at Polyfin will become SEI's largest portfolio in the installation of Rooftop PLTS with the Developer scheme.
