Purwakarta, 6 June 2025 – This year’s Eid al-Adha once again became a meaningful moment for PLN Nusantara Renewables (PLN NR) and PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali Solar Energi (PMSE). As a gesture of gratitude for the smooth operation of the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant (PLTS Terapung Cirata), the two companies distributed qurban animals to communities in the Purwakarta area. This annual tradition is not only an expression of social care, but also a reflection of the spirit to continue growing together with communities living near this strategic renewable energy project.
This activity is part of the companies’ environmental and social responsibility, as well as a tangible expression of compassion during the meaningful celebration of Eid al-Adha. A total of three cows and 25 sheep were handed over to communities in several villages located near the project area, particularly in Maniis District, Purwakarta.
“Every year, the distribution of qurban animals is an important occasion for us to get closer to the community.

Jakarta, November 13, 2024 – one year has passed since former President Joko Widodo inaugurated the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant, one of the National Strategic Projects hailed by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) as a symbol of accelerating Indonesia’s energy transition. Until today, this floating solar power held the title as the largest in Southeast Asia and the third largest in the World and is still undisputed. With more than 340,000 solar panels installed, Cirata Floating PV Power Plant serves as a vital component in supporting the production of clean energy in Cirata Reservoir. The advantage of electricity production during the dry season make the solar power a crucial solution in addressing the reduced water discharge challenges faced by Cirata Hydropower. Since operating commercially on November 13, 2023, until now, the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant has produced over 267 GWh of green electricity to the Java, Madura, and Bali (JAMALI) systems.Built on a challenging location with a water depth of 100 meters, muddy bottom, and slope of up to 45 degrees, the accomplishment of constructing Cirata Floating PV Power Plant has become a key reference point in the development of design, technology, regulation, and guidelines for various renewable energy stakeholders in Indonesia. Additionally, 1,400 skilled workers trained in the installation and construction of this floating solar power plant are ready to contribute to similar projects in the future. In fact, Cirata Floating PV Power Plant holds significant potential for the future of Indonesia's electricity sector." Currently, the plant managed by PT PMSE only occupies around 4% of the total area of Cirata Reservoir. In fact, according to the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Housing of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 2023, it is mentioned that up to 20% of the surface of the Reservoir can be used for floating solar power plant. This was the basis for the signing of the Joint Development study Agreement between PLN Nusantara Power and Masdar to increase the capacity of this plant.Harjono, President Director of PLN Nusantara Renewables, expressed his appreciation to all parties involved in accelerating the energy transition through the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant project. He hopes that this initiative can jumpstart the move to achieve the net zero emissions target in Indonesia. “PLN Nusantara Renewables is committed to continue to drive innovation and investment in renewable energy. We hope that the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant can inspire similar projects, bringing Indonesia closer to the target of net zero emission in 2060, paving a way for a greener future for future generations,” Harjono said.
