JAKARTA - PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Tbk (CPIN), a company in the poultry industry, has installed a solar power plant (PLTS) to start the company's move to transition to new and renewable energy (EBT).
The PLTS installation was carried out in collaboration with solar energy developer SUN Energy.
"Installation of PLTS with this long-term cooperation scheme with SUN Energy, we believe it can be part of the solution to the challenges of global climate change," said General Manager of Production Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Aditya Taufiq Wibowo in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Friday, March 15.
The PLTS was installed in one of the Plants of PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia - Food Division in Salatiga, Central Java, with a capacity of 1.5 MWp.
The use of solar energy is estimated to be able to produce 1,508,458 kWh of electricity every year equivalent to a reduction of 1,178 tons of carbon emissions and planting 17,676 trees.
Aditya said the company believed the initiative would have a direct impact on Charoen Pokphand's sustainability efforts.
