PT SUN Energy is committed to strengthening strategic support for the government’s efforts to accelerate the decarbonization of Indonesia’s mining industry by implementing a renewable energy–based green mining concept through a range of integrated energy solutions.
SUN Energy CEO Emmanuel Jefferson Kuesar is optimistic that the various solutions offered by the company can help Indonesia’s mining sector meet sustainability targets while maintaining operational cost efficiency.
“Through innovation in clean, low-emission energy technology, SUN Energy and our business ecosystem are committed to acting as a catalyst for transforming Indonesia’s mining industry into a greener and more sustainable industry,” he said in an official statement received in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Emmanuel noted that mining sites in Indonesia are generally located in remote (off-grid) areas and are highly dependent on diesel engines as their source of electricity.
This dependence, he continued, causes fuel costs to swell, accounting for 25 to 40 percent of total operating costs, and even approaching 50 percent at mines with high energy usage.
To address this, the company is delivering Solar Power Plant (PLTS) solutions integrated with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), one of which has been realized through collaboration with PT Cipta Kridatama.
He stated that this technology can significantly reduce fuel consumption and energy logistics costs, while ensuring a stable 24-hour power supply.
In addition, there is also the Solar PV Roll Up technology implemented at PT Berau Coal. This roll-up solar panel technology is specifically designed to support mining activities that relocate frequently, making it easy to dismantle, reassemble, and move between sites.
To support environmentally friendly mining activities, Emmanuel said the company also offers Sustainability-as-a-Service, which includes fleet electrification and water management.
These services include Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) for providing electric vehicles for mine operations, scheduled to begin operating at the end of 2025 at one of Indonesia’s major mining companies.
Another service is sustainable water management, including at PT Berau Coal, which uses ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems to purify process water so it can be reused.
These various initiatives align with the government’s commitment toward Net Zero Emissions 2060 and the implementation of Good Mining Practice in accordance with Law No. 3 of 2020 on Mineral and Coal Mining.
To date, SUN Energy’s clean energy solutions have been implemented at more than 15 mining locations across Indonesia.
“The transition to green mining is not just about switching energy sources, but about building a new foundation for an efficient, low-emission, and long-term resilient industry,” said Emmanuel Jefferson Kuesar.
