TotalEnergies ENEOS has successfully completed a 2.2 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar project for PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres (Ceres), a prominent company in Indonesia's chocolate confectionery industry.
Ceres Installs Photovoltaic System in Indonesia, Reducing Carbon Footprint
The solar photovoltaic system comprising over 3,700 modules generates around 3,250 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. This photovoltaic system will supply approximately 9% of the renewable energy needs for Ceres' manufacturing facility in Bandung, Indonesia.
With this solar installation, the company's carbon footprint is expected to decrease by about 2,600 tons of CO2 annually—equivalent to removing around 560 cars from the road or planting over 39,000 trees.
"TotalEnergies ENEOS is thrilled to support PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres in their sustainability journey. As a premier solar service provider for commercial and industrial sectors, we are dedicated to helping customers like PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres lower their energy expenses while reducing carbon emissions. Leveraging our global expertise, TotalEnergies ENEOS will continue to provide innovative, long-term end-to-end solutions to help the customer achieve their decarbonization goals," said Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific.
TotalEnergies ENEOS and Ceres Sign 15-Year Solar Power Agreement
Through this agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS has fully funded, installed and will manage the solar photovoltaic system allowing Ceres to benefit from substantial cost savings by paying solely for the electricity generated over 15 years with no initial investment required.
"We are excited to take this significant step towards a more sustainable future. Solar energy, as a renewable resource plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres is proud to embark on this partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS in achieving this sustainability milestone. This also marks an advancement in Indonesia's target of reaching net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner," said Nancy Florencia, President and Director of PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres.
