TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific has successfully completed Phase 2 of a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) project with PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres (Ceres), a leading chocolate confectionery manufacturer in Indonesia, at its Bandung facility.
The latest expansion follows the commissioning of the first 2.2 megawatt-peak (MWp) system in September 2024. Phase 2 adds around 2,400 solar PV panels and 1.4 MWp of additional capacity, generating over 1,380 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually.
With both phases combined, the rooftop solar installation now reaches a total capacity of 3.6 MWp, producing approximately 4,630 MWh of clean energy each year. This output is expected to meet nearly 12% of Ceres’ total electricity demand while significantly reducing its carbon footprint.
The project is structured under a 15-year long-term agreement, wherein TotalEnergies ENEOS is responsible for developing, financing, constructing, and operating the solar system. Under this model, Ceres pays only for the electricity generated, without any upfront capital investment, enabling cost savings alongside emissions reduction.
According to TotalEnergies ENEOS, the project reflects its commitment to supporting industrial customers in their energy transition journey.
“Working with a trusted energy partner offers customers strategic advantages beyond simply transactional savings. The completion of Phase 2 of the project bears testimony to the trust and strong partnership as we continue to support Ceres in their clean energy transition,” said Alexandru Buzatu, Director, TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific.
From the client side, Ceres highlighted the initiative as a key milestone in its sustainability journey. The company stated that the combined system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 4,200 tons annually, contributing to Indonesia’s broader net-zero target for 2060 or earlier.
“We are excited to take this significant step towards a more sustainable future… Ceres is proud to embark on this partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS in achieving this sustainability milestone,” said Nancy Florencia, President Director of PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres.
TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific is a 50:50 joint venture between TotalEnergies and ENEOS, headquartered in Singapore. The company aims to develop 2 GW of decentralized solar capacity across Asia over the next five years.
TotalEnergies continues to expand its global renewable energy portfolio, targeting over 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030. Meanwhile, ENEOS is strengthening its renewable footprint across multiple markets including Japan, the United States, Australia, Vietnam, and Taiwan.
