IWIP Launches US$2 Billion Green Energy Initiative

Comprehensive Renewable Energy Project

PT Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) has embarked on an ambitious US$2 billion green energy project that includes the development of a 2 gigawatt solar power plant and a 500 megawatt wind power facility. This comprehensive initiative is designed to provide clean energy for the industrial needs within Indonesia's pioneering integrated industrial estate, which focuses on nickel processing and downstream industries including electric vehicle battery production.

Strategic Alignment with National Energy Goals

The development of these renewable energy sources is in line with Indonesia's national commitment under the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) to increase the share of new and renewable energy (NRE) in its energy mix to 34% by 2030. IWIP is accelerating this transition through the integrated utilization of renewable energy sources within the Weda Bay industrial complex located in Central Halmahera, North Maluku.

Industrial Impact and Energy Security

The green energy project will play a crucial role in supporting the energy requirements of various industries operating within the Weda Bay industrial park, particularly those involved in nickel processing and battery production for the electric vehicle market. By harnessing both solar and wind energy, IWIP aims to enhance energy security while reducing reliance on conventional energy sources.
