Jakarta (ANTARA) – Danantara CEO Rosan Perkasa Roeslani said Danantara has received $1.4 billion or about Rp23.66 trillion to build factory supporting solar power plant with 50 gigawatt capacity.
Rosan said the factory could support the government’s plan to accelerate the development of solar power plants (PLTS) in several villages, particularly those with existing electricity distribution networks.
“Coincidentally, there has already been investment in Indonesia, and the construction of a $1.4 billion investment plant with a capacity of 50 gigawatts will be completed this year. So, that’s already been done. The investment has been made and it will be completed by the end of this year. So, this will also help us utilize our domestic production for this solar power plant project,” said Danantara CEO Rosan Perkasa Roeslani after a limited meeting with President Prabowo Subianto to discuss the energy transition acceleration efforts at the Indonesian Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Thursday.
At the Palace, President Prabowo held a limited meeting with the CEO of Danantara, who is also the Minister of Investment and Downstream Development/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia, the President Director of PT Pindad Sigit P. Santosa, and the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto. During the meeting, the President established a task force to accelerate the transition to new and renewable energy (EBT). The task force is led by ESDM Minister Bahlil Lahadalia.
Regarding the accelerated transition, Rosan stated that Danantara has currently built a 1-megawatt (MW) solar power plant prototype in Sumenep, Madura, East Java. “The prototype will be reviewed and seen directly by the team, both ESDM and the Minister of Education and Culture, so that it can then be rolled out,” Rosan said.
During the meeting, Rosan said, President Prabowo had instructed Danantara to study financing options for solar power plant development in several villages across Indonesia.
“The President did provide direction to enable this development with several funding options. We were asked to review and study the structure, collaborating with both domestic entities and private parties that possess the technology and capabilities in solar power and batteries. That’s what we discussed earlier; the focus is on that,” said the Danantara CEO.
