PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) delivered the latest news regarding cooperation in the wind power plant (PLTB) or wind farm construction with Chinese companies, China Huadian Oversears Investment Co. Ltd. and Huadian Guangxi Energy Co. Ltd.
Bukit Asam President Director, Arsal Ismail, said his team is still communicating with Huadian regarding this cooperation.
"With Huadian, it is not only wind [power], but hydro. It is because the wind in Indonesia is not as big as abroad," Arsal said on Thursday (3/14/2024).
For the record, this wind power plant will be located in the South China Sea region. This power plant has a capacity of up to 1.3 gigawatts (GW).
Furthermore, Arsal said PTBA has a roadmap for facing the energy transition. According to him, until 2030, PTBA targets the core coal business to contribute 70%, and the remaining 30% is contributed from non-coal such as EBT and several other projects such as downstream.
Previously, PTBA management explained that the company had so far built a solar power plant at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in collaboration with PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), which has been fully operational since October 2020.
The PLTS has a maximum capacity of 241 kilowatt-peak (kWp) and is installed in the Airport Operation Control Center (AOCC) building.
In addition to Angkasa Pura II, PTBA also cooperates with Jasa Marga Group to develop PLTS on toll roads. The PLTS, with a capacity of 400 kWp, on the Bali-Mandara Toll Road was completed and inaugurated on September 21, 2022.
PTBA is also currently exploring opportunities for the development of hydrogen-based renewable energy, both for its own needs and to support the strengthening of partnership needs in PTBA's transportation and production business chain system in the future.
