The Government of Indonesia has launched its largest ground-mounted solar power plant in Purwakarta, West Java. The 100 MWp facility, developed by PT Aruna Hijau Power, features 160,000 solar panels using advanced bifacial technology, which increases efficiency by capturing sunlight on both sides of the panels.
Spanning over 80 hectares across five locations, the plant is expected to generate 150 GWh of energy annually, reducing carbon emissions (CO2) by around 118,725 tons. This solar power plant is a collaborative effort involving several stakeholders, including PT PLN (Persero), and is a significant step towards Indonesia’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
