Landmark Partnership: Impressive Java hybrid solar plant to get 2024 boost
Indonesia’s manufacturing sector is poised for a significant green transformation with the development of Java’s largest hybrid on-grid solar power facility. A strategic collaboration between PT iForte Energi Nusantara (iForte) and leading steel pipe manufacturer PT Steel Pipe Industry of Indonesia Tbk (SPINDO) will introduce a cutting-edge solar and battery storage system designed to enhance energy security and drive industrial decarbonization.
Advanced Technology for Uninterrupted Operations
The core of this ambitious initiative is a 6.3 MWp (megawatt-peak) solar power plant integrated with a 1 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This hybrid configuration is critical for heavy industry, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply for SPINDO’s manufacturing operations. The BESS will capture and store surplus solar energy generated during peak daylight hours, deploying it during periods of low sunlight or high factory demand to maintain operational stability and reduce reliance on the grid.
Innovative Financing and Sustainable Commitment
Breaking down financial barriers to renewable adoption, iForte is delivering the project under a zero-CapEx (Capital Expenditure) model. This innovative approach means SPINDO avoids any upfront investment costs for the infrastructure, as the project is sustained by green funding. The resulting energy cost savings are then shared, creating a mutually beneficial partnership. This new plant dramatically expands SPINDO’s commitment to sustainability, building upon its existing 2.1 MWp of rooftop solar capacity already installed across three of its factory units.
