The Company also won an award in the Energy-Efficient Technology Engineering & Renewable Energy category through the Digitalization of Energy Monitoring and Control Systems at PT Bukit Asam Tbk, which leverages digital technology to improve energy efficiency while reducing operational emissions.
PTBA’s contribution to strengthening community energy resilience was further recognized through an award in the Energy Independence for Communities category via the Solar-Powered Irrigation Pump Program in Karang Raja Village. This program supports farmers in increasing agricultural productivity using environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources.
