PT MSP Strengthens Sustainability Goals Through PLN Renewable Energy Certificates

PT Mitra Stania Prima (MSP) is enhancing its sustainability strategy by utilizing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from state utility PLN, a move that not only boosts production efficiency but also provides international recognition for its use of renewable energy.

One REC unit is equivalent to 1 megawatt hour (MWh) or 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity, serving as a green instrument to validate clean energy consumption. According to PT MSP President Director An Sudarno, this step has been instrumental in the company’s recent achievements.

“The use of RECs is an important indicator that helped PT MSP achieve the Green PROPER twice for the Smelter unit (2023 & 2024), and once for the Mapur Mine (2024). We believe this step is the right path towards our next target — achieving the Gold PROPER and becoming the first environmentally friendly tin company in Southeast Asia,” he said.

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo highlighted that the clean electricity service provided to industries not only supports efficiency but also strengthens global competitiveness. “PLN not only provides reliable electricity but also offers green products like RECs to help industrial customers improve competitiveness while contributing to the national energy transition agenda,” he noted, adding that energy transition efforts also generate new employment opportunities and drive economic growth.

Echoing this, Ira Savitri, General Manager of PLN’s Bangka Belitung Regional Main Unit, underlined the importance of partnerships with industries in achieving broader sustainability goals. “PT MSP deserves appreciation for demonstrating that industry can play an active role in the energy transition. We hope this enthusiasm inspires others to contribute to a clean and sustainable energy ecosystem,” she said.

Collaborations between PLN and industrial players such as PT MSP are seen as a crucial step in accelerating Indonesia’s energy transition, ensuring that environmental sustainability aligns with economic growth at local, national, and international levels.
