LONGi, a global solar company, has teamed up with Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (Pertamina NRE) to set up a new solar panel factory in Indonesia. Pertamina NRE is a part of Pertamina, Indonesia’s state-owned energy company. The project shows both companies’ shared goal of helping Indonesia move towards cleaner energy, reports Solarquarter.
The factory will be built in Deltamas, West Java, and will be able to produce 1.6 gigawatts worth of solar panels each year. It will use LONGi’s latest technology to make efficient solar panels. Work on getting the factory ready is expected to begin by June 2025. The project will help Indonesia produce more solar panels locally, instead of importing them.
This move supports Indonesia’s plan to increase the use of local materials in energy projects. It will also help meet the rising demand for solar energy in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The country plans to add 17.1 gigawatts of solar power by 2034, according to its latest national energy plan.
Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi Group, said at the launch event that Indonesia has great potential in clean energy. “We are proud to bring our solar technology to support Indonesia’s clean energy journey. This factory is more than just a business project — it’s a long-term partnership,” he said. He added that producing solar panels in Indonesia would help lower costs, encourage new ideas, and create good jobs.
This project marks an important step for Indonesia in becoming a major player in clean energy in the region. It also shows LONGi’s commitment to supporting clean energy growth around the world through strong partnerships and reliable technology.
