TotalEnergies and the Indonesia-based supplier of premium tire reinforcement material, PT Indo Kordsa Tbk (formerly PT Branta Mulia Tbk), celebrated the launch of the 4.8 MWp rooftop solar PV system. As a subsidiary of Kordsa Group, Indo Kordsa has rolled out its sustainability roadmap in line with Kordsa Group’s sustainability strategies to reduce GHG emissions and combat climate change; and Indo Kordsa is committed to shifting to a net-zero company by 2050.

This project, run in the form of corporate PPA, includes 8,800 PV modules installed on the rooftops of Indo Kordsa’s 6 facilities. Under the agreement, TotalEnergies finances, installs and operates the solar system. Indo Kordsa will pay monthly for the solar electricity consumed without any upfront investments and any operational concerns on the project. TotalEnergies will supply approximately 6,800 MWh of solar power for the company per year for 20 years. Indo Kordsa will not only gain electricity cost savings but massive economic and environmental benefits as a whole. It is a significant step toward fulfilling the sustainability targets for the company.

This record is the largest among other Kordsa [Group] projects throughout 6 countries and also the largest in Bogor District. Through these solar panels, PT Indo Kordsa Tbk also became the first Textile Industry in Indonesia to utilize the solar panels rooftop.
