TotalEnergies ENEOS has successfully completed the installation of a 2.2 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar rooftop system at PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres (Ceres), a leading Indonesian chocolate confectionery manufacturer. The project, which includes more than 3,700 solar panels, is expected to generate around 3,250 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity each year. This system will supply approximately 9% of the energy required for Ceres’ manufacturing facility in Bandung, Indonesia.
The newly installed solar photovoltaic (PV) system will help reduce Ceres’ carbon footprint by approximately 2,600 tons of CO2 annually—equivalent to removing around 560 cars from the road or planting over 39,000 trees.
Under the terms of the agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS fully financed, installed, and will operate the solar power system. Ceres, in turn, will benefit from substantial cost savings by paying only for the electricity produced, with no upfront costs, over a 15-year period.
“We are excited to take this significant step toward a more sustainable future,” said Nancy Florencia, President Director of PT. Perusahaan Industri Ceres. “Solar energy is an important tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. This partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS is a major milestone in our sustainability efforts and supports Indonesia’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner.”
Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, expressed enthusiasm about supporting Ceres on its sustainability journey: “As a leading provider of solar solutions for the commercial and industrial sectors, TotalEnergies ENEOS is committed to helping customers like Ceres reduce their energy costs and lower their carbon emissions. With our global expertise, we will continue to offer innovative, long-term, end-to-end solutions to help our clients meet their decarbonization goals.”
