SEI Officially Completes 585 kWp Floating Solar Power Plant at Tambak Lorok, Semarang
Semarang (10/02/2026) — SEI has successfully completed the construction of a 585 kWp Floating Solar Power Plant at the Tambak Lorok Combined Cycle Power Plant (PLTGU) in Semarang, marking another important milestone in supporting Indonesia’s transition to renewable energy. The project was executed under an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract with PLN Indonesia Geothermal and has now been officially handed over.
Designed to supply the PDCSTG 1 load in Block 1 of PLN Indonesia Power UBP Semarang, the floating solar power plant is expected to improve internal energy efficiency by providing auxiliary power for several critical facilities, including the Water Treatment Plant, Unit 1 Auxiliary System, Emergency System, Condenser Vacuum System, and control room lighting.
Construction took place between September and December 2025. Throughout the project, the SEI team successfully overcame several technical and operational challenges while maintaining the highest standards of quality and occupational safety.
One of the primary challenges involved ensuring occupational safety during installation on water, particularly under extreme weather conditions. To safeguard personnel and maintain compliance with safety regulations, all installation activities were suspended whenever heavy rainfall created unsafe working conditions.

Another major challenge was integrating the new system with an existing operational facility. As the project expanded an active system, the legacy infrastructure had to remain fully operational throughout the integration process. This required meticulous planning, greater technical precision, and a longer execution period than conventional rooftop or ground-mounted solar power plant installations.
Erwin Widodo, Electrical Engineer at PLN Indonesia Power UBP Semarang, expressed his appreciation for the collaboration and successful completion of the project.
“We highly appreciate SEI’s performance in successfully delivering this project. We hope the floating solar power plant will continue to operate safely and reliably in supporting the PDC Block 1 power supply, which requires a high level of stability,” he said.
Echoing this optimism, Yudistira Priatna, Project Manager at SEI, emphasized the company's commitment to advancing renewable energy development across Indonesia.
“Looking ahead, we hope SEI will continue to be entrusted with strategic renewable energy projects, including floating, rooftop, ground-mounted, and other clean energy developments. We remain committed to delivering reliable and sustainable energy solutions that contribute to Indonesia’s clean energy transition,” Yudistira said.
With the successful completion of this project, SEI continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner in renewable energy infrastructure development. The achievement further demonstrates the company's capability to deliver complex engineering projects while reinforcing its commitment to supporting Indonesia's transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

Often Thought the Same: Here are the Differences Between Renewable Energy, Clean Energy, and Green Energy
Terms like renewable energy, clean energy, and green energy are becoming increasingly popular in daily conversation and global policy. However, many people still assume these three terms have the same meaning
In fact, technically, all three refer to different concepts. Understanding this difference is crucial so we do not get trapped by inaccurate "environmentally friendly" labels. This is because an energy source might be inexhaustible, yet its process could still leave an impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
In short, the fundamental difference lies in three pillars: where it comes from (Renewable), what its residue or waste is (Clean), and its overall environmental impact (Green).
To make it easier to understand, let's learn and analogize these three differences through a simple story:
- Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is energy derived from natural resources that can be renewed naturally and continuously. This type of energy exists as a solution to depleting fossil fuel.
Imagine you have a magic tree in your yard. Every time a branch is picked for firewood, a new branch grows back instantly. You do not need to fear a fuel shortage because nature provides it endlessly
Examples: Heat from the Earth's core (Geothermal), Solar energy, Wind, Water (Hydropower), and even biomass (from agricultural or forest waste)
- Clean Energy
Clean energy focuses on minimal negative impact on the environment. Its primary focus is on low or even zero carbon emissions, so it does not produce greenhouse gas air pollution (CO2 or methane)
Now, our focus shifts to the health of the household residents. We do not want black smoke billowing in the kitchen while cooking. Therefore, we use a sophisticated stove that emits no smoke at all. The kitchen air remains fresh and healthy
Examples:
- Solar energy: Converting sunlight into electricity without emissions
- Wind power: Generating electricity through wind turbines without burning fossil fuels.
- Geothermal: Utilizing heat from inside the earth with very low emissions
- Nuclear Energy: Nuclear does not produce smoke that damages the ozone layer, but its fuel (uranium) is limited. So, it is clean, but not always renewable.
- Green Energy
Green energy is the highest rank in this hierarchy. This energy is not only clean and renewable but also comes from natural processes that strictly preserve the ecosystem, without polluting soil or water, or leaving dangerous waste.
It is not just that the materials never run out and are smoke-free, but the way they are obtained must follow "the rules". We would not want to install a stove if it meant displacing a bird's nest or cutting down a protective tree.
Examples: Sunlight (Solar) and Wind. Both are available continuously (Renewable), smoke-free (Clean), and do not damage soil or water (Green).
What are the more specific differences? Here is a quick guide to distinguish them:
- Renewable Energy: Talks about Resilience (Will the energy run out?)
- Clean Energy: Talks about Air Health (Is there pollution or carbon smoke?)
- Green Energy: Talks about Nature's Well-being (Does the process damage the ecosystem?)
The key point is that all green energy is definitely renewable and clean. However, clean energy is not necessarily renewable (such as nuclear), and renewable energy is not necessarily fully green.
