Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) is seeking an investment of $700 million to install solar panels of 200 MW capacity in a bid to reduce carbon emissions and replace diesel power generators.
PLN aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by the year 2060 and has 4.68 GW of installed solar panels between 2021 and 2030. 200 MW solar panels will be the first phase among other phases of a long-term plan as per the company’s director, Evy Haryadi.
