Jakarta – Bakrie & Brothers (BNBR) through its business unit Braja Mukti Cakra (BMC) on Tuesday officially inaugurated a rooftop solar power plant or PLTS in Bekasi, West Java.
This rooftop solar power plant is the result of BMC's collaboration with Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian (KTB) which is engaged in the automotive component manufacturing industry.
This PLTS with a capacity of 317.7 kWp (kilowatt-peak) will be able to produce up to 434 MWh (megawatt-hours) of electrical energy per year.
"Another BNBR business unit engaged in the renewable energy sector, Helio Synar Energi has focused its operations on the sustainable energy business and the green economy. Such as the manufacture of rooftop solar power plant," BNBR Deputy President Director Ardiansyah Bakrie said in Jakarta, on Tuesday.
According to Bakrie, the Rooftop Solar Power Plant is very suitable in Bekasi City, because the weather is very hot, "This (rooftop solar power plant) is suitable here. I just came to Bekasi City and indeed the weather is so hot,”

Bakrie said that the construction of Rooftop PLTS at the BMC factory is BNBR's commitment and is fully supported by Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian to realize the transition to a greener, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly business.
This is in line with air pollution due to CO2 gas emissions that hit several cities in Indonesia.
"This is in line with the Government's program to encourage the use of new and renewable energy, with a net zero emission target by 2060 or sooner," Bakrie remarked.
As a visionary company led by the third generation, the Bakrie Group recognizes the importance of the global energy transition. This is not only for environmental sustainability but also as a form of legacy for future generations, Bakrie continued.
Therefore, it is also trying to make it happen by building rooftop solar power plants in factories and operational facilities within the Bakrie Group.
