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.
