SEI Builds Communal Solar Power Plants on Six Remote Islands

Kepri (01/11/23), committed to continuing to contribute to building the country, PT Surya Energi Indotama which is known as a pioneer and trusted company in the field of New Renewable Energy, especially solar energy in Indonesia, had the opportunity to appear as part of the Communal Solar Power Plant (PLTS) Inauguration event in the Riau Islands.

Taking place on Panjang Island, the Communal Solar Power Plant (PLTS) Inauguration event in the Riau Islands was held. Present on the occasion were the Governor of the Riau Islands, H. Answar Ahmad and representatives from the DPRD RI and local officials. Acting President Director of PT Surya Energi Indotama, I Made Sandika was also present on the occasion.

Worked by reliable human resources, SEI acts as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) Company, setting aside several companies with similar businesses.

The construction of the Communal PLTS in the Riau Islands is a collaboration between SEI and PT Indo Tenaga Hijau and PT PLN (Persero) Riau and Riau Islands Regional Main Unit. The Communal PLTS system built by SEI is spread across 6 areas of the Riau Islands, namely; Geranting Island, Akar Island, Panjang Island, Jaga Island, Nuja Island, and Sebung Island with a total installed system capacity of 776 kWp.

The Communal PLTS installed in the 6 Islands areas were built by implementing 2 systems, namely Off-Grid PLTS and Ground Mounted PLTS. Communal PLTS with Off Grid system is a PLTS that is built by relying on solar energy as the only energy source and is not connected to the operator's electricity network, this Off Grid system is very suitable for application in remote areas, especially those that have not been reached by conventional electricity, in contrast to the Ground Mounted PLTS system, this PLTS is built using special supports to hold the integrated solar modules.

SEI's success in working on this project is expected to be a sustainable project where there are still a number of other points in the Batam Islands that can be opportunities for SEI, "SEI is present as part of the solution and we hope that this project will be the first gateway to success for SEI to establish further cooperation, especially in lighting up other remote islands in the Batam Islands," concluded Made.**
