Visiting SEI, Tri Mumpuni Discusses Strategy to Advance Solar Power Plant Industry in Indonesia

BANDUNG – One of the members of the Steering Committee of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Tri Mumpuni visited PT Surya Energi Indotama (SEI) on Monday (27/3). This visit was a follow-up to the previous meeting to discuss the development of the New and Renewable Energy (EBT) Industry, especially solar energy in Indonesia.

As a pioneering solar energy company in Indonesia which is also a subsidiary of a BUMN, it is only right that SEI gets a big opportunity to develop the solar energy-based energy and electricity industry in Indonesia. This was expressed by Tri Mumpuni in a discussion session with the SEI Board of Directors and the ranks of PT Surya Energi Indotama.

Tri Mumpuni, who is also included in the list of the Most Influential Indonesian Muslim Scientists in the World according to The World's 500 Most Influential Muslims 2021 report, listens to all aspirations, the latest information, and innovations that are currently happening in the world of solar energy, especially from the perspective of industry players. This is then elaborated together to formulate the next strategic steps for each problem that occurs.

Apart from that, this woman who was born in 1964 is amazed by the existence of SEI which has existed for 15 years. Although SEI has not achieved a high figure in terms of total installed PLTS capacity, SEI has been able to expand the reach of solar energy benefits to remote areas with thousands of small to medium capacity project points. This is in line with its mission to improve the welfare of people in remote areas to gain equality and benefits from new renewable energy.

The discussion was also attended by SEI President Director Bambang Iswanto, SEI Marketing and Business Development Director I Made Sandika Dwiantara, Engineering and Operations Director Fajar Miftahul Falah, GM Engineering & Technology Development Eric Agustian, Secretariat Manager M. Dedy, and other company officials. The hope of holding this visit and discussion is of course to form a strategy and concrete steps in facing the challenges of the new renewable energy industry in Indonesia. In addition, this is a good momentum for SEI to be able to open up new opportunities for cooperation with both BRIN and other government institutions in the development and utilization of solar energy in Indonesia.
