In addition to solar energy, EGA plans to explore other clean energy development opportunities in Indonesia. The Indonesian government has been actively promoting renewable energy development, alongside advancing technologies such as hydrogen, nuclear energy, and battery solutions to meet future energy demands.

Airlangga Hartarto responded positively to the discussions, noting that he would coordinate with INALUM to move forward with the agreed collaboration. He emphasized the importance of involving all relevant stakeholders, such as state-owned electricity company PLN, to ensure the availability of low-carbon power for aluminium production.

Airlangga stressed that the partnership between Indonesia and EGA should significantly contribute to the nation’s economy, particularly by creating job opportunities and boosting industrial growth. The success of this venture, he highlighted, could lead to a more substantial economic impact, benefiting both local industries and the broader workforce. (Uki Ruknuddin)
