The solar photovoltaic power project will be constructed in phases.
The solar PV project will be constructed in phases, contributing to Indonesia’s goals of fostering economic growth and reducing carbon emissions in key sectors. By supplying clean energy to both local industries and neighboring Singapore, the initiative supports regional energy cooperation and aligns with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) objectives for cross-border renewable energy integration and collaboration.
Imelda Tanoto, RGE’s managing director, stated: “We are taking meaningful steps to advance regional connectivity and contribute to the acceleration of the energy transition in the region. Our co-investment agreement reflects our strong alignment with Indonesia’s National Transformation Strategy (Asta Cita) – supporting green energy self-sufficiency and its bio-based resources industry through high-value-added services.” She added: “We aim to unlock long-term economic value for Indonesia by driving investment, developing Indonesia’s solar energy value chain and creating skilled expertise in renewables.”
The project is designed to position Indonesia as a significant contributor to the global renewable energy market by creating skilled jobs in solar, BESS, engineering, and grid integration. It also seeks to strengthen the country’s solar and energy storage supply chain, enhancing its renewable energy capabilities.
Helle Kristoffersen, TotalEnergies’ Asia president and executive committee member, commented: “Our utility-scale project underscores TotalEnergies’ commitment to supporting the region’s energy transition efforts, while ensuring energy security. This project aims to drive the development of regional renewable energy infrastructure and advance the ASEAN Power Grid vision.” The initiative reflects TotalEnergies’ broader efforts, including its acquisition of three renewable energy portfolios across Europe, Africa, and North America in April 2025.
By combining solar PV with BESS, the project ensures reliable energy delivery, supporting both local consumption and regional exports. It fosters sustainable economic development and strengthens Indonesia’s role in renewable energy innovation.
