SGI-Mitabu secures funds for 50MW plant in Indonesia

Ready for the 50MW plant in Indonesia.

SGI-Mitabu has secured the necessary finances to fund the first phase of its planned 250MW PV projects in Indonesia.

The programme aims to deliver one watt of solar power for every person in Indonesia — equivalent to 250MW of PV capacity. SGI-Mitabu is hoping to extend this programme to incorporate other countries in South East Asia.

As part of the first phase, SGI-Mitabu will build a 50MW PV system which represents the company’s first utility-scale solar power project in Indonesia.

The company also confirmed that the 50MW ground-mounted project will be built on a site covering 60-80 hectares in addition to land for a “tourism facility”. According to the company, the installation will feature a first-of-a-kind design and will become an iconic installation in the country. As a result, it is expected to act as a tourist attraction.
