to-the-point: Total Solar adds rooftop PV for Indonesia's Chandra Asri

Total Solar Distributed Generation has completed the installation of a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) array at a site of Indonesian petrochemical company Chandra Asri Petrochemical (IDX:TPIA).

The solar power plant at Chandra Asri's facility in Cilegon, a coastal city in Banten province, will be able to produce more than 934.5 MWh of electricity annually, Total Solar said on Tuesday. The output of the 2,200-panel installation will meet about 15% of the petrochemical firm’s electricity demand. The generated power will also mitigate around 644 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year.

According to the statement, the project is among the first “no capex” schemes in Indonesia, not requiring an initial investment by the customer.
