IndonesiaAntara News Agency（ANTARA NewsnearDaily report leader,Indonesia's Giruta floating solar power plant has become the largest floating solar power plant in Southeast Asia.

This power plant is located approximately from the capital JakartaThe scale of the 130 kilometer Puwagada and West Bandung administrative regions is astonishing. The entire power plant consists of 340000 solar panels, covering a vast area and generating enough electricity to supply over 50000 households. This achievement not only demonstrates Indonesia's strength in renewable energy technology, but also reflectsIndonesiaHigh emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development.

It is worth mentioning that the construction of the Giruta floating solar power plant took three years and cost approximately100 million US dollars. This massive project has received strong support from financial institutions such as Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, Societe Generale, and Standard Chartered Bank, as well as cooperation from Indonesian State Power Company and Abu Dhabi Green Energy Company Masdar. With the joint efforts of all parties, this power plant has finally been successfully completed, injecting new vitality into the energy transformation and environmental protection cause of Indonesia and even the entire Southeast Asian region.

At the inauguration ceremony of the power plant, Indonesian President Jokovi excitedly stated that this is a historic day for Indonesia to achieve its dream of a large-scale renewable energy plant. He emphasized that the construction of the Giruta floating solar power plant not only helps accelerate Indonesia's energy transformation process, but also provides valuable learning opportunities for local workers, enabling them to access advanced renewable energy technologies and enhance their professional skills.

According to the person in charge of the projectAccording to Dimas, the director of PT PMSE, no particularly confidential technology was used during the construction of this power plant, which allowed more local people to participate in this great project. In fact, out of the 1400 Indonesian workers involved in the project, 60 were originally engaged in the aquaculture industry. By participating in this project, they not only learned the construction and development technology of floating solar power plants, but also laid a solid foundation for their future work in similar projects in Indonesia.

Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Resources official Yudo also expressed appreciation for the successful completion of the Giruta floating solar power plant. He stated that the success of this project will motivate the government to continue increasing investment in renewable energy and building more similar infrastructure. He revealed that the government plans to use various reservoirs in Indonesia to build floating solar power plants and actively promote the construction of reservoirs and dams.
