Conergy on February 22nd, 2017
announced that it has completed and connected to the grid the first
utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Sumba Island, East
Nusa Tenggara province.
The 1 MW PV facility was built in
cooperation with PT. Buana Energi Surya Persada. The Sumba plant is
Conergy’s first utility-scale PV project in Indonesia.
Construction of the solar PV plant began in
September 2016 and was completed in January 2017, with a total
investment of USD 2.2 million (IDR 28 billion).
The new solar PV plant will generate more than
1,400 MWh of solar power per year and is expected to provide power to
more than 11,600 households in the Sumba area.
The energy produced by the solar plant will be sold
to PLN through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) and will
supplement the existing electricity supply in the area.
“Sumba is one of the regions which holds massive
solar power potential, since the area receives sunlight at an average of
5 kWh/m/day and radiation of 1,000 watts/m throughout 5 hours every
day,” said Rico Syah Alam, President and CEO of PT. Energi Surya Buana
Persada.
