PT Gunung Raja Paksi Tbk (GRP) has inaugurated the second phase of its Rooftop Solar Power Plant (PLTS Atap) project at the company’s operational area. The inauguration was led by the Director of Electricity Engineering and Environment at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia, Mohamad Priharto Dwinugroho, along with GRP management, TotalEnergies ENEOS, PLN UPT Bekasi, and PLN UP3 Cikarang. This installation reinforces GRP’s commitment as part of its previously announced Net Zero strategy.

With this inauguration, GRP’s total installed solar energy capacity has reached 9.3 MWp (Megawatt Peak), making it one of the largest rooftop solar power plants in West Java. The first phase had a capacity of 0.9 MWp, while the second phase added 8.4 MWp. GRP aims to achieve a total rooftop solar capacity of 33 MWp, targeted for completion by 2025, which is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 47,400 tons annually.

Mohamad Priharto Dwinugroho appreciated GRP’s initiative, stating, "The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) continues to encourage active participation from businesses in supporting the achievement of Net Zero Emission (NZE) targets by 2060 or sooner, and the national energy mix target of 23% from renewable energy by 2025. One of the key programs in this effort is the widespread development of rooftop solar power plants. GRP’s actions are a concrete example of environmental awareness and represent a private sector contribution to supporting government goals."

The steel industry plays a vital role in Indonesia’s economic growth. According to data from the Ministry of Industry, domestic steel consumption over the past five years has averaged 15.62 million tons annually. However, the steel industry faces new challenges due to global commitments to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by mid-century.

Globally, steel production contributes approximately 7% of total carbon emissions. With steel demand projected to increase by about 15-20% between 2030 and 2050, steel producers must be more proactive in managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks across the value chain.

"The rooftop solar power plant installed in our operational area aligns with GRP’s 5 ESG Pillars, particularly Pillar No. 3 on Energy Transition and Low-Carbon Solutions, where the company addresses and manages climate-related risks and opportunities throughout the value chain. With the completion of the second phase of the rooftop solar power plant, GRP has successfully reduced carbon emissions by approximately 1,500 tons of CO2e," explained GRP President Director Fedaus.

GRP collaborated with TotalEnergies ENEOS, responsible for the design and selection of trusted EPC partners for each phase of the rooftop solar project. In its operation and maintenance, the rooftop solar plant is equipped with various sensors to monitor radiation, temperature, wind speed, and ambient temperature. Additionally, the system features remote monitoring capabilities, sending performance analysis data and displaying the carbon footprint.
