<p>Sembcorp Industries, Batam’s utility company PT PLN Batam and Indonesian renewable energy developer PT Trisurya Mitra Bersama (Suryagen) have signed an exclusive joint development agreement to develop a large-scale integrated solar and energy storage project in Indonesia’s Batam, Bintan and Karimun region. This project consists of an approximately 1GWp of solar power generation capability and a large-scale energy storage system in BBK to support managing the intermittency for clean energy deployment and export. To support the clean energy needs of the two markets, the renewable power generated onsite will supply the clean energy needs of the local communities and is proposed to be transmitted via subsea cables into Singapore.</p> <p>Indonesia has recently reaffirmed its commitment to achieving a renewable energy mix of 23% by 2025, up from 11% currently. Up to 4.7GW of new solar capacity by 2030 has been announced under the recently published 2021-2030 PLN Electricity Procurement Plan. The project is a strong example of the regional collaboration needed to enhance energy resilience and sustainability. It is also in line with Singapore’s plan to harness regional clean energy sources, and could potentially contribute significantly to Singapore’s transition to a clean energy future.</p>
