TotalEnergies ENEOS has completed a 2.2-megawatt-peak (MWp) solar rooftop installation for PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres (Ceres), a leading chocolate confectionery manufacturer in Indonesia.
The system, comprising over 3,700 photovoltaic modules, is set to generate approximately 3,250 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. This will meet around 9% of Ceres' energy needs at its Bandung manufacturing facility while cutting its carbon emissions by an estimated 2,600 tons annually. This environmental impact is equivalent to removing 560 cars from the road or planting over 39,000 trees.
“We are excited to take this significant step towards a more sustainable future. Solar energy, as a renewable resource, plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres is proud to embark on this partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS in achieving this sustainability milestone. This also marks an advancement in Indonesia's target of reaching net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner,” said Nancy Florencia, President Director of PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres.
Under a 15-year agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS financed, installed, and will manage the solar system, enabling Ceres to enjoy cost savings by paying solely for the electricity generated without any upfront investment.
“TotalEnergies ENEOS is thrilled to support PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres in their sustainability journey. As a premier solar service provider for commercial and industrial sectors, we are dedicated to helping customers like PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres lower their energy expenses while reducing carbon emissions. Leveraging our global expertise, TotalEnergies ENEOS will continue to provide innovative, long-term end-to-end solutions to help the customer achieve their decarbonization goals,” said Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific.
