PT Sembcorp Renewables Indonesia, a subsidiary of Singapore-based Sembcorp, has collaborated with Indonesia’s state-owned PT PLN Nusantara Renewables to launch the Nusantara Sembcorp Solar Energi (NSSE) project. Located on 87 hectares in Nusantara, Borneo, the project comprises a 50MW solar PV plant and a 14.2 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). Equipped with 114,420 bifacial solar modules and 126 lithium iron phosphate battery packs, the facility is expected to generate 93 GWh of renewable energy annually to power Nusantara, Indonesia’s future capital city.
This marks Sembcorp’s first large-scale solar venture in Indonesia. The project aligns with the country’s renewable energy ambitions, targeting 75GW capacity by 2040.
