Kendal, 30 October 2024 - In order to support the
Indonesian government's renewable energy mix improvement program, the first
integrated Solar Cell and Solar Module factory, PT Trina Mas Agra Indonesia
launched a soft launching event in Kendal Regency, Central Java. The factory is
a collaboration between Trina Solar Co Ltd, PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk
(Sinarmas Group), PT PLN Indonesia Power Renewable, and PT Agra Surya Energy.
PT TMAI's production capacity will reach 1 gigawatt
peak per year. The products to be produced are photovoltaic solar panels with
the latest i-TOPCon Advanced n-type technology. This i-TOPCon Advanced
technology is a new generation that can produce a potential production
efficiency of 26% with solar panel power produced reaching up to 700 Wp per
panel.
Lokita Prasetya, Deputy President Director of PT
TMAI said that the presence of this factory is one of the efforts in supporting
the program to increase the use of renewable energy in Indonesia through
strengthening the domestic solar panel production chain. “The 1000 megawatt
solar panel is ready for commercial operation with a production capacity of
700-watt peak per panel which will make it one of the largest solar panels in
the world and the most efficient for power generation. We are optimistic that
the operation of this plant will support Indonesia's joint efforts to provide
clean and renewable energy sources.”
Today's soft launching event is part of the first
phase development of TMAI with an investment value of more than USD 100 million
and 600 workers. Hartanto Wibowo as Director of Corporate Planning and Business
Development of PT PLN, Sahid Junaidi as Secretary of the Directorate General of
New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation, and Tjertja Karja Adil as Head
of the Kendal Special Economic Zone Administrator also attended the
event.
The plan is that in the next 2-3 years TMAI will
increase its production capacity to 3 gigawatt peak. The development will be
carried out in the same location, namely in the Kendal Special Economic Zone.
This was certainly welcomed by Juliani Kusumaningrum as Head of Sales &
Marketing KEK Kendal.
According to Juliani, with the investment value and
type of industry in line with the main activities in Kendal SEZ, TMAI will
receive several facilities from the Special Economic Zone. “The Renewable
Energy Industry, including the solar module and cell processing industry, is
one of the main activities in Kendal SEZ. With this, as well as the
considerable investment value of TMAI, they can enjoy facilities in the form of
Tax Holiday, which is a 100% reduction in corporate income tax for up to 10
years.”
The Special Economic Zone, which is one of the
PSNs, is a joint venture between PT Jababeka Tbk and Sembcorp Ltd from
Singapore. In the future, it is determined to become a place for the Renewable
Energy Industry ecosystem. It is noted that this industry is now growing
rapidly in Kendal Regency. It is noted that in Kendal SEZ itself the Renewable
Energy and Automotive Industries are included in the three largest types of
industries after Garment / Textile and Electronics as of the third quarter of
this year.
