Kolaka Nickel constructs 20 MW hybrid solar project in Indonesia
Industrial operator PT Kolaka Nickel Indonesia began development of a 20 MW hybrid solar photovoltaic and battery storage project in Southeast Sulawesi to supply renewable energy to processing facilities
Indonesia is advancing its renewable energy efforts with the construction of a 20 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage system by PT. Kolaka Nickel Indonesia. This innovative project, situated in Oko Oko, Pomalaa, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, combines a solar array and a 20 MW/30 MWh storage system to provide self-generated power for industrial operations.
Financed through non-recourse loans from ICBC Indonesia, Standard Chartered Bank Indonesia, and CNCBI, the project's design and construction are overseen by EDRI. High-efficiency ZNSHINE SOLAR modules, designed to endure Indonesia's tropical climate, will form the heart of the solar generation capacity. Upon completion in March 2027, the facility will bolster decarbonization initiatives for nickel-sector operations.
This milestone exemplifies the potential of strategic partnerships among developers, EPC contractors, and international lenders in fostering both environmental sustainability and industrial competitiveness in Indonesia's bid to enhance energy self-sufficiency and sustainability.
