PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) (PLN) provides clean energy needs for refining factories (smelters) owned by a number of companies in Southeast Sulawesi.

"We welcome it because it is currently believed to play a role in providing reliable, timely, and most important electricity services from clean energy," said General Manager of PT PLN (Persero) South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi and West Sulawesi (UID Sulselrabar) Main Distribution Unit Moch Andy Adchaminordin quoting Antara.

PLN supplied the green energy needs of the purification plant or smelter owned by PT Ceria Metalindo Prima through the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) of 7,384 GWh until 2030.

Andy explained that PLN is committed to supporting economic growth in Southeast Sulawesi, which was realized in the signing of an amendment to the Electricity Sale and Purchase Agreement (PJBTL) with a total power of 514 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) together with PT Ceria Metalindo Prima and also PT Stargate Mineral Asia.

"Thank you to PT Ceria Metalindo Prima for entrusting the REC service of 7,384 GWh until 2030," said Andy.

The REC Sale and Purchase Agreement, which was marked by the signing of the cooperation, has been carried out, and according to Andy, shows that PT PLN is committed to supporting mineral downstreaming.

Meanwhile, Director of PT Ceria Metalindo Prima Derian Sakmiwata appreciated PLN for always supporting smelter business actors with reliable electricity supply and providing REC services.

"We business actors would like to thank PLN for supporting mineral downstream which is also a government program. PLN in addition to providing electricity supply also provides REC services as a form of proof of our commitment to producing green products," said Derian.

The same thing was conveyed by the President Director of PT Stargate Mineral Asia Muliady Sutio who expressed his gratitude for the commitments and services that will be presented by PLN.

"Wherever we are trying, PLN is always here as a solution. We are also supported by electricity supply in Southeast Sulawesi, hopefully this collaboration can further grow a real economy for Indonesia," explained Muliady.
