Collaboration Between BUMN Subsidiaries, SEI and IFPRO Install PLTS at Merak and Bakauheuni Executive Terminals

Cilegon (8/7/2022) – Sosoro Merak Executive Terminal and Anjungan Agung Bakauheuni have now been integrated with electrical energy from solar panels or solar power. Indonesia Ferry Properti (IFRPO) as a subsidiary of ASDP which is the provider and manager of Sosoro Merak Executive Terminal and Anjungan Agung Bakauheuni has installed a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) from PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI).

IFPRO categorizes this environmental-based management as a form of using New Renewable Energy (EBT). Solar panels at the Sosoro Merak Executive Terminal and Anjungan Agung Bakauheuni are examples of the use of EBT as a form of environmental concern. This installation is a collaboration between IFPRO and SEI, both of which are BUMN subsidiaries, as a form of collaboration in the form of environmental care and support for government programs in achieving net zero commitments by 2060.

"The collaboration in utilizing PLTS between IFPRO and SEI is a form of synergy and collaboration between 2 BUMN subsidiaries. The installation of this PLTS shows a joint commitment to support environmental, social and corporate governance-based businesses / Environmental Social Governance (ESG) which has been improved from year to year. Hopefully this collaboration will have a positive impact in supporting the government's efforts to achieve net zero emission commitments by 2060," said I Made Sandika as Director of Marketing and Business Development of SEI.

The solar energy installed at the IFPRO Executive Terminal uses the On Grid PLTS system. In this system, the PLTS remains connected to the PLN electricity network. The energy generated from the solar panels will be converted by the inverter from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) which can be used directly for electricity needs. The installed panel capacity is 324 kWp at the Sosoro Merak Executive Terminal, and 189 KWp at the Anjungan Agung Bakauheuni Executive Terminal.

The collaboration between IFPRO and SEI has a Build Operate Transfer (BOT) scheme. With this scheme, SEI will build and finance the entire solar panel installation and has the right to be used by IFPRO during the 20-year usage contract period. After 20 years, the solar panels will be handed over as IFPRO assets. In this way, IFPRO does not incur any investment costs for installing solar panels at all (zero capex). On the other hand, IFPRO can save electricity costs with a certain agreed efficiency value.

Ferry Snyders as the President Director of IFPRO stated that this program will provide many benefits, both in terms of operational finance and the environment.

"With this cooperation pattern, IFPRO benefits comprehensively because in addition to financial and economic savings on operational costs and does not require investment costs, IFPRO also has a positive impact on the environment in the form of reduced emissions because it has switched to energy sources based on renewable energy," said Ferry Snyders as the President Director of Indonesia Ferry Property.

Specific Working Visit of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives to PT SEI: Focus on Upstreaming of the PLTS Industry and Electricity Connections in 3T Regions

Bandung, (24/06/22) – PT Surya Energi Indotama (PT SEI) is one of the companies targeted by Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives in conducting a series of Working Visits of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives in charge of energy and industry. This Specific Working Visit targets discussions on the development of new renewable energy infrastructure, especially solar panels in Indonesia.

The discussion was attended by Members of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives led by H. Eddy Soeparno S.H., M.H. as Deputy Chairperson of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Bambang Iswanto as President Director of PT SEI, Wiluyo Kusdwiharto as Director of Mega Projects and EBT of PT PLN, Andriah Feby Misna, S.T., M.T as Director. of Various EBT ESDM, M. Arifin as Secretary of the Directorate General of ILMATE, Liliek Widodo as Director. of Metal Industry of the Ministry of Industry, and Linus Andor Mulana Sijabat as Director of Business Strategy & Portfolio of PT Len Industri (Persero).

One of the objectives of this Specific Working Visit is to get an overview of the problems faced and the support expected by PT Len and PT SEI in developing solar panel infrastructure in Indonesia, as well as to find out the effectiveness of the government's role in overcoming various problems faced by communities in the regions.

This objective is motivated by the facts that currently there are very large opportunities for domestic industries to develop businesses in the PLTS sector. However, production capacity in Indonesia is still long and expensive compared to other countries. Added to this is the lack of integration of the solar panel industry components from upstream to downstream.

As a pioneer of solar panel companies in Indonesia that has been operating for 14 years, PT SEI always strives to develop the solar panel industry so that it is quickly accepted by the community. On this visit, in addition to discussing upstreaming, Bambang Iswanto as President Director of PT SEI also emphasized that PLTS must be able to be present as a solution in the 3T (Outermost, Disadvantaged, Frontier) areas.

"The 3T areas are our focus where the people there also have the right to get access to electricity, and PLTS can be a solution," said Bambang Iswanto.

Deputy Chairman of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Eddy Soeparno, also said that there are still many 3T areas that have not been fully connected to electricity. In fact, with the abundant sunshine in Indonesia, it can be utilized to develop solar panels in these areas.

"The areas that are prioritized in this development are areas that have not yet been comprehensively connected to electricity, especially in the 3T areas. And if the government can program this, perhaps the industrial sector can survive and on the other hand, the areas that still have 3T can be helped," explained the politician from the National Mandate Party (PAN).

PT SEI has long been actively building PLTS systems in 3T areas. One of them is by building solar-powered BTS Signal Towers in remote areas. With government support, it is hoped that this PLTS will be the leading solution for all 3T areas in Indonesia. So it is complete, starting from the focus of upstream to downstream implementation that is beneficial to the community.

PLTS is one of the government's priority programs to achieve the target of developing EBT by 23% in 2025. The potential for solar energy in Indonesia is also very high and is starting to have competitive prices. Therefore, synergy is needed between the Government as a regulator, PLN as an operator, the industry as a producer, and the community as consumers so that they are able to accelerate the utilization of solar energy potential as soon as possible.
