RGE and TotalEnergies team up for solar, energy storage project in Indonesia

The project is under a develop, build, and operate arrangement.

RGE and TotalEnergies, through their equally owned joint venture Singa Renewables, have entered into a co-investment agreement for a solar power plant with battery energy storage system (BESS) in Riau Province, Indonesia.

In a joint statement, the companies said the utility-scale project, which is under a develop, build, and operate deal, will be constructed in phases.

“Our Co-Investment Agreement reflects our strong alignment with Indonesia’s National Transformation Strategy (Asta Cita) – supporting green energy self-sufficiency and its bio-based resources industry through high value-added services,” said Imelda Tanoto, managing director at RGE.

Helle Kristoffersen, president Asia and member of the executive committee at TotalEnergies, also said the “project aims to drive the development of regional renewable energy infrastructure and advance the ASEAN Power Grid vision.”

Upon completion, the project will supply clean power to green industrial complexes in Riau Province. Solar energy will also be exported to Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
