Indonesia Advances Renewable Energy with Karangkates Floating Solar Project

In a significant move towards bolstering Indonesia’s renewable energy sector, PT PLN (Persero) has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) for the development of the Karangkates Floating Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant. This 100 MW project, set to be constructed in Java, marks another critical milestone in the nation’s ongoing commitment to sustainable energy.

The LoI, signed by the President Director of PT PLN (Persero) in collaboration with a consortium comprising PT PLN Nusantara Renewables and GD Power Hong Kong Overseas Investment Company Limited, underscores the strategic importance of this initiative. Despite numerous challenges, the parties involved have demonstrated resilience and effective collaboration, paving the way for the project’s future success.

This latest agreement follows the successful deployment of the 145 MW floating photovoltaic solar power plant in Cirata, further positioning PLN Nusantara Power as a key player in Indonesia’s renewable energy landscape. The Karangkates project is expected to build on the momentum generated by previous successes, setting the stage for more ambitious projects in the future.

The Karangkates Floating Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant is not just a project; it represents a significant step towards a greener Indonesia. As the country continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, this initiative is expected to serve as a catalyst for the development of additional sustainable power projects nationwide, contributing to the nation’s long-term energy goals.
