Jasa Marga and PTBA Continue the Collaboration on Solar Power Plant Development on Toll Roads
Jakarta, February 24, 2023 - PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk (Jasa Marga) and PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) signed an Extension of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Development of Solar Power Plants in all Jasa Marga Group’s toll roads.
President Director of Jasa Marga Subakti Syukur and President Director of PTBA Arsal Ismail signed the MoU at Jasa Marga Head Office, Plaza Toll Taman Mini, East Jakarta on Friday, February 24, 2023.
The Board of Directors of Jasa Marga, including Director of Business Reza Febriano, Director of Operations Fitri Wiyanti and Director of Human Capital & Transformation Bagus Cahya Arinta B, and the Directors of PTBA, including Director of Business Development Rafli Yandra, Director of Operations and Production Suhedi, Director of Finance and Risk Management Farida Thamrin and Director of Human Resources Suherman attended the event.
Jasa Marga and PTBA continue to explore the potential for Solar Power Plant development to support business and operational activities on the Jasa Marga Group's toll roads. The extension of the MoU is also a form of collaboration between State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) in supporting efforts to reduce global carbon emissions, in line with the Government's efforts to achieve the Net Zero Emission target in 2060.
President Director of Jasa Marga Subakti Syukur said that this collaboration between Jasa Marga and PTBA should be continued, given the huge potential that can continue to be developed, both to support operational activities as well as on commercial aspects and prospective businesses that can provide added value, especially in sustainable toll road management based on green environment and green energy.
“The measure of Jasa Marga’s success is not only assessed from the financial aspect, but also from environmental and social impacts for its stakeholders. This also reflects Jasa Marga Group's focus on building a sustainable corporation in accordance with the Triple Bottom Line concept, balancing the aspects of People, Planet and Profit in carrying out the company's business activities," said Subakti.
On the same occasion, PTBA President Director Arsal Ismail said that Bukit Asam as a member of the MIND ID Group was diversifying its business to become an integrated and sustainable world-class energy and chemical company. One of them is by entering the new renewable energy (NRE) business.
"This collaboration with Jasa Marga is in line with the transformation that is being carried out by Bukit Asam. Not only does it contribute significantly to state revenues, Bukit Asam must also preserve the environment. We want to take part in creating a sustainable life in the future," said Arsal.
Previously, PTBA through its subsidiary, PT Bukit Energi Investama (BEI), had built a 400 Kilowatt-peak (kWp) Solar Power Plant on the Bali-Mandara Toll Road to support the activities and operations of PT Jasamarga Bali Tol (JBT), which is a subsidiary of Jasa Marga. The construction of the Bali Mandara Toll Road Solar Power Plant, which was inaugurated on September 21, 2022, is going very according to plan, resulting in positive benefits in the form of energy efficiency and operational costs, and of course helping to support Indonesia's G20 Presidency November 2022, one of which focuses on the issue of energy transition .
This collaboration also shows a good partnership between Jasa Marga and PTBA that will continue to create breakthroughs and innovations to generate significant impacts for the company, stakeholders and the environment, in line with the commitment to realizing sustainable toll roads.
