Heaptalk, Jakarta — In the first half of 2024, PLN distributed 2.35 terawatt hours (TWh) of green electricity services through renewable energy certificates (REC).

This service was utilized by 5,407 customers, marking a 65% growth compared to the same period in 2023. In the previous period, REC services were adopted by 1,829 customers with a capacity of 1.42 TWh.

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo stated that as the driving force behind the energy transition, the company fully supports the business and industrial sectors’ need for green electricity supply through green energy as a service (GEAS) with its flagship product, REC. This measure aligns with the government’s target of achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060.

“PLN is fully committed to supporting the competitiveness of the national industry by promoting the use of clean energy. We offer a 100% green electricity service option supplied by our new renewable energy (NRE) plants through REC,” said Darmawan.

Adding two new power plants

Currently, more industrial customers are utilizing renewable energy certificate to obtain green electricity from the state-owned company. Throughout 2023, this service was used by 3,378 customers, with a capacity reaching 3.5 TWh. With the high uptake of REC in the first half of 2024, Darmawan is optimistic that this trend will continue to rise until the end of 2024.

He added, “In line with the growing interest of the business and industrial sectors in supporting decarbonization in Indonesia, we see that the demand for PLN’s green energy will continue to increase. In this regard, we have successfully added two new power plants as sources for REC. Currently, we have 8 REC plants with a production capacity of 4.7 million REC or 4.7 TWh per year.”

This year, the company added two REC source plants: the Ulumbu Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) in East Nusa Tenggara and the Orya Genyem Hydropower Plant (PLTA) in Papua. These two EBT-based plants will join six other plants that have been supplying green electricity for PLN REC, including the Ulubelu Geothermal Power Plant, the Cirata Hydropower Plant, the Kamojang Geothermal Power Plant, the Lambur Micro Hydro Power Plant, the Bakaru Hydropower Plant, and the Lahendong Geothermal Power Plant.
