PHR And PNRE Conduct Groundbreaking For PLTS Development With A Capacity Of 25 MW
JAKARTA - Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) and Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (Pertamina NRE) will start a series of processes for the construction of a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) to support carbon emission reductions and support the government's target to accelerate the energy transition and energy mix targets from New Energy. Renewable (EBT).
The PLTS as a whole will occupy an area of 28.16 hectares in three locations, namely Rumbai, Duri and Dumai Camp and is expected to be able to produce 25 Mega Watts to support operational activities in WK Rokan.
The PLTS construction was marked by a groundbreaking event attended by Pertamina (Persero) Director of Logistics and Infrastructure Mulyono, Pertamina NRE Commissioner David Bingei, Pertamina NRE CEO Dannif Danusaputro, PT PHR President Director Jaffee A. Suardin, Pertamina NRE Director of Strategic Planning & Business Development Fadli Rahman , Director of Projects and Operations at Pertamina NRE Norman Ginting and Head of SKK Migas Sumbagut Representative, Rikky Rahmat Firdaus.
“This PLTS project is a role model and one of the largest in Indonesia. The PLTS which is expected to produce 25 MW is part of Pertamina's plan to reach 200 MW. Through the construction of this PLTS, WK Rokan has achieved an efficiency of US$5 million," said Mulyono in his written statement, Saturday, April 23.
Meanwhile, Jafree in his speech said that solar power as a new renewable energy is not just a global trend adopted in Indonesia.
"Transition to sustainable green energy is a priority for the country. PHR in this case participates in supporting the government's target through the Grand National Energy Strategy to accelerate the energy transition and target the energy mix from New and Renewable Energy (EBT) by 23 percent by 2025 and achieve net-zero emissions in 2060 with a medium term of 29 to 41 percent in 2030," he explained.
Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) and Pertamina NRE signed a memorandum of understanding on November 15, 2021 for the plan to provide a Solar Power Plant for Pertamina's Rokan working area, where Pertamina NRE and PHR have collaborated together to carry out a feasibility study of the first phase of the project which proved not to interfere with reliability. PHR electrical system.
This project will also optimize the use of domestic components in accordance with government regulations regarding TKDN.
Jeffree added that Indonesia has the advantage of a geographical location that has the potential for solar energy. Solar panels with photovoltaic technology will be installed using two methods, namely ground-mounted and roof-mounted.
"The captured solar energy is then converted through an inverter so that the electrical energy is then used in the Rokan WK," he added.
