Signing MoU with PT SEI, Governor Erzaldi Rosman Ready to Accelerate EBT Development in Bangka Belitung Islands Province

Bandung, (24/1/2022). Governor of Bangka Belitung Islands Erzaldi Rosman visited PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI) on Monday, January 24, 2022. During his visit, Erzaldi also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation between the provincial government and PT SEI in the utilization of solar power and energy conservation in the Bangka Belitung Islands, especially in areas that are difficult to reach by conventional electricity.

The group of the Governor of Bangka Belitung Islands also visited PT Len Industri (Persero) as the parent company of PT SEI to see the manufacturing of solar modules made by the nation's children. The group was welcomed and accompanied by the Director of Business Strategy and Portfolio of PT Len Industri (Persero), Linus Andor Mulana Sijabat.

In his speech, Erzaldi said that the Bangka Belitung Islands have great potential for Natural Resources. With this potential, it would be a shame if we are unable to process and develop it independently. Cooperation between the government and companies that can process this potential must be carried out immediately.

Erzaldi also said that the use of New Renewable Energy (EBT) will be very beneficial for the community, especially the distribution of development in remote areas and also investment growth in Bangka Belitung. PT SEI can cooperate in terms of operations and management.

"With this agreement, PT SEI will later cooperate with BUMDES in terms of operations and management," said Erzaldi.

The application of renewable energy in Bangka Belitung will cover several sectors, such as plantations with the creation of water pumps for irrigation, marine and fisheries with the provision of ice makers, cold storage to store fishermen's seafood, and reverse osmosis for coastal residents.

In addition to the needs of the community, the application of EBT technology is also useful for welcoming the implementation of the G20 in Indonesia. "The G20 also happens to discuss a lot about the issue of renewable energy. This is very suitable for us to implement," said Erzaldi.

On the other hand, Bambang Iswanto as President Director of PT SEI welcomed the program of the Governor of the Bangka Belitung Islands to utilize EBT and the utilization of energy conservation as an alternative solution and a future solution. PT SEI is ready to be present as an investor and developer in this major program.

With this collaboration, there is great hope for both parties to help realize the mission that has been planned. The Provincial Government with the mission of improving the welfare of the community and the selling value of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, and PT SEI with the mission of implementing available technology into a portfolio that has been successfully built and applied in the community.

"The technology is already there, sir. It's just a matter of how all of this can be implemented." Said Bambang Iswanto.

Also present at this event were all Directors of PT SEI, Assistant 2 for Economic and Development Affairs of the Babel Islands Provincial Government, Mr. Yanuar S.H., M.H., Head of the Natural Resources Division of the Babel Islands Provincial Government's Economic and Development Bureau, Mr. Heru Widarto, S.T., Head of the Babel Islands Provincial Government's Marine and Fisheries Service, Mr. Agus Suryadi, Head of the ESDM Service, Mr. Amir Sahbana, and Head of the Social and Village Service, Mr. Hardadi.
