Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-owned PT PLN Indonesia Power is collaborating with a Saudi Arabian company to construct a 60-megawatt floating solar power plant on the Saguling Reservoir in West Java.
The project aims to bolster Indonesia's renewable energy sector, according to the PLN president director Edwin Nugraha Putra.
"PT Indo ACWA Tenaga Saguling, a joint venture between PLN Indonesia Power and ACWA Power, will oversee the construction of the floating power plant," Putra stated in a Sunday press release.
The venture was formalized with the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) by PLN (Persero) President Director Darmawan Prasodjo and PT Indo ACWA Tenaga Saguling President Director Rudolf Rinaldo Aritonang.
"This PPA underscores PLN Indonesia Power's commitment to the country's energy transition," Putra added.
The project is expected to commence with funding acquisition, followed by construction, with commercial operations targeted for June 2026. The Saguling floating power plant aligns with PLN Indonesia Power's efforts to accelerate the energy transition and support the government's net-zero emissions goal by 2060, Putra said.
This corporate action is one of the many efforts made by PLN Indonesia Power to minimize the effect of climate change as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative contributes to mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a global challenge requiring international cooperation, Putra said.

"I would like to give my appreciation to PLN Indonesia Power for opening up this cooperation opportunity very professionally and transparently," he said.
