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!
