Solar Depot and Huawei Partner on Microgrid Solutions for Indonesia's Energy Transition

Accelerating Clean Energy Adoption

Solar Depot (PT ATW Sejahtera) and Huawei Indonesia have signed a strategic partnership to develop and implement microgrid solutions based on solar power and battery energy storage systems (BESS). This collaboration aims to address the energy needs of Indonesia's mining and plantation sectors, which often operate in remote areas lacking access to the main electrical grid.

Comprehensive Microgrid Solution

The partnership encompasses a comprehensive range of services including:

• Development of Solar Power Generation Systems
• Implementation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• Digital Energy Management solutions
• End-to-end technology support and implementation

The companies have already identified pilot projects in mining and plantation areas with high energy demands but limited grid access.

Driving Indonesia's Energy Transition

Juan Davis, President Director of Triputra Visi Energi, explained that the collaboration was born out of growing demand from the mining and plantation industries for efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. The microgrid technology, combining solar power and BESS, represents a significant step towards reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and lowering carbon emissions.

Technological Synergy

Jin Song, CEO of Huawei Digital Power Indonesia, highlighted that Solar Depot is an ideal strategic partner due to its understanding of energy-intensive sectors and strong business ecosystem backed by Triputra Group. Huawei will provide its globally proven integrated microgrid solutions featuring real-time control and monitoring systems to ensure operational stability and efficiency.

Future Prospects and Impact

The partnership is expected to accelerate the adoption of microgrid and solar power solutions in Indonesia, particularly in areas without access to the main grid. Both companies believe this collaboration will contribute significantly to Indonesia's Net Zero Emission targets and enhance national energy resilience.

The industrial and utility sectors are expected to benefit through reduced operational costs, improved energy reliability, and lower carbon emissions. The companies are optimistic about the growing prospects of the solar power industry in Indonesia, driven by increasing sustainability commitments and operational efficiency demands.
