JAKARTA - Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (Pertamina NRE), in collaboration with LONGi Green Technology Co., Ltd., officially launched a strategic project to build Surya or Photovoltaic (PV) panel manufacturing facilities in Indonesia.
This facility is targeted to have a production capacity of 1.4 GW per year, and will use the latest technology from LONGi as a global leader in solar manufacturing PV, Hybrid Passived Back Contact (HPBC) 2.0 type N which can produce a solar module with high efficiency.
The location of this solar pv project is in Deltamas, West Java, which is a strategic area that makes it easier to disrupt and supply chains in the production process. This facility is expected to absorb local power and also improve the national economy.
According to Eniya Listiani, Director General of EBTKE of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, this strategic project will strongly support the energy transition process in Indonesia, which is targeting an energy mix of up to 34.3 percent by 2034. Eniya hopes that this project can run smoothly so that it can support the RUPTL with an additional target of generating capacity of 69.5 gigawatts (GW).
"From this target, 61 percent or 42.6 GW came from the EBT generator," explained Eniya, Tuesday, June 24.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry, the current domestic solar panel production capability is only 1.6 GWp per year, so this project will increase the national production capability to 3 GWp so that later it can support the addition of PLTS according to the government's target of 300-400 GWp in 2060.
Pertamina NRE CEO John Anis said that this collaboration is an important milestone in the energy transition in Indonesia.
"By building local manufacturing capacity, we want to strengthen the domestic PV solar supply chain, reduce production costs, and create high-achieving green jobs," added John.

According to VP Longi Global, Dennis She's collaboration is an opportunity for Longi to develop a business in the energy industry in Southeast Asia.
"With this collaboration, we hope to continue to support the energy transition target in Indonesia by sharing knowledge and technology with each other in the solar pv industry," said Dennis
For information, the Indonesian government already has a roadmap on the potential increase in solar PV demand until 2035, so this project is considered very potential and will support the realization of PLTS project development in the greenest' Electric Power Supply Business Plan (RUPTL), supports the development of supply chain industries such as solar cells and supports the development of hydrogen green hydrogen projects in the future.
