PLN Nusantara Power (PLN NP) reported that in the first quarter of 2026 it had produced 245 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of green energy, surpassing 14.7 percent of the target set.
PLN Nusantara Power President Director Ruly Firmansyah said that this achievement was supported by the implementation of biomass cofiring in steam power plants (PLTU). Throughout 2025, the PLN NP cofiring program has been operating commercially at 25 PLTU, as part of the company's concrete steps in encouraging the use of more environmentally friendly energy.
"Throughout 2025, through the implementation of cofiring, PLN NP has produced 1,041 GWh of green energy and made a significant contribution to reducing national carbon emissions. Through this achievement, PLN NP managed to record a reduction in carbon emissions of 1.17 million tons of CO2e," he said, Thursday, April 30.
Meanwhile, in the first quarter of 2026, he continued, through the production of 245 GWh, PLN NP has managed to reduce carbon emissions by 286 million tons of CO2e. This achievement confirms the strategic role of PLN NP as the largest generation subholding in Southeast Asia in accelerating the decarbonization of the national electricity sector.
He added that the successful implementation of cofiring at 25 PLTU shows that the transformation towards greener generation can be done concretely while maintaining the reliability of electricity supply for the community.
In addition to reducing emissions, the cofiring program also opens opportunities for strengthening the national biomass ecosystem, including encouraging the use of local resources and creating economic added value in various regions. Thus, the development of cofiring not only provides environmental benefits, but also supports inclusive green economic growth.
"The growth of green energy cofiring is also on a positive trend where production in 2025 has increased by 21.9% from the previous year. Meanwhile, this year, we have recorded significant growth with green energy production reaching 245 GWh," said Ruly.
