Summary

New and renewable energy is a solution to create a better environment and replace the fossil energy currently used around the world. Converting solar energy into daily needs can reduce carbon dioxide levels and air pollution.


Innovation

New and renewable energy is something that must be done by making the most of the abundant energy such as sunlight. This has been done by PT LEN Industri (Persero), which is one of the SOE (State-owned enterprises) engaged in technology and information-based business.

With the abundance of sunlight throughout the year in Indonesia, the Solar Power Generation System is one of the right alternative energy sources. Solar Power Generation Systems can also reduce dependence on the currently limited fuel oil.

PT Len Industri (Persero) has been developing PLTS since 1997 which has been operated in various regions in Indonesia with a total energy distribution of more than 30 MWP.

Inspiration

PT. LEN Industri was founded on October 7, 1991, which is a change from a research institute with the name LEN (National Electronics Institute) which was founded in 1965.

PT Len Industri (Persero) with its expertise and mastery of technology has succeeded in responding to challenges and participating in national strategic projects to guard the national scale energy transition.

In addition to participating in national-scale projects, PT Len Industri also offers product innovation and solutions in the fields of generation, renewable energy, and community energy products.

PT Len Industri is also actively transforming into a developer of national scale energy projects. Which until now we have realized by providing an electricity supply to the people of Indonesia by becoming an Independent Power Producer (IPP), along with Operating Services


Overall impact

PT Len is actively involved in developing new and renewable energy due to business diversification in the future direction of the business which will start leaving fossil energy, as well as assisting government programs in national strategic projects that target electric energy from new and renewable energy in the General Energy Plan Scenario National (RUEN) in 2025 amounting to 23% of the total national energy demand.

Fulfilling the target of New and Renewable Energy is important for the government to reduce the development of Diesel, Gas, and Coal power plants, and reduce the massive exploitation of coal mines which can have a negative impact on the environment around the mining area.


Business benefit

PT LEN offers a cooperation scheme with a company that plans to install a Solar Panel Power Plant (PLTS) with a BOT (Build-Operation-Transfer) scheme. PT LEN will invest to build and operate the Solar Panel Power Plant (SPPP). The rate of return is paid monthly based by the company on the rental price multiplied by the energy produced by the SPPP during the contract period. The rates imposed by PT LEN on companies that collaborate are lower than the industrial electricity rates charged by State Electricity Company so that the company gets benefits from lower rates and PT LEN benefits from the construction of SPPP, which all components are produced by PT. LEN. The impact on the environment is also very good to reduce dependence on non-new and renewal energy like power plants owned by the State electricity company.

Social and environmental benefit

By starting to switch the use of traditional fossil energy with new and renewable clean energy, it can reduce the number of environmental pollution emissions and the use of excessive natural resources to meet the daily energy needs of humankind. The use of new and renewable energy is seen from the social level, this innovation is in line with government programs in order to reduce dependence on natural resources as well as national environmental policies and preserve the environment. In addition, for remote areas, the use of solar panels to meet the energy needs of the surrounding community can provide job opportunities for the people in the area, so as to spur economic growth and provide benefits to the surrounding community.
