Trans Mall Group has officially launched its Rooftop Solar Power\nPlant (PLTS Atap) programme, making it one of the largest rooftop solar\ninstallations in Indonesia. The inauguration, held at the Transmart\nCempaka Putih head office in Jakarta, marks the completion of solar\ninstallations across all 16 Trans Mall Group locations (13 Transmart\nsites and 3 Trans Studio Malls), spread across 14 cities and 11\nprovinces throughout Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The inauguration also affirms Transmart\u2019s position as a green retail\npioneer in the national modern retail industry. Satria Hamid Ahmadi,\nHuman Resources & Corporate Communications Director of PT Trans\nRetail Indonesia, emphasised that the inauguration is not merely a\ntechnical achievement, but a statement of the company\u2019s strategic\ndirection.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe simultaneous implementation of rooftop solar at our 16 locations\nis tangible proof that Trans Mall Group is serious about fulfilling its\nESG commitment as part of our business DNA, not just a supplementary\nagenda. We want to prove that Indonesian modern retail can lead the\nenergy transition, and the success of this programme provides a strong\nfoundation for our subsequent sustainability steps,\u201d he said in an\nofficial statement on Tuesday (15\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
The programme is the result of a strategic collaboration between\nTrans Mall Group and PT Xurya Daya Indonesia (Xurya), supported by the\nlong-term partnership between CT Corp and Mitsui & Co., Ltd., with\nXurya being an affiliate of Mitsui & Co., Ltd.\u00a0Its realisation\ndemonstrates that environmental sustainability commitments and a strong\nbusiness strategy can genuinely go hand in hand.<\/p>\n
With an installed capacity of 12.34 MWp (approximately 12,000 kWp)\nutilising 90,600 square metres of roof space and 21,000 solar panels,\nthe Trans Mall Group rooftop solar installation is capable of converting\nsunlight into around 16.8 GWh (16 million kWh) of clean electricity each\nyear. This step is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by more than\n13 million kilograms (13,000 tonnes) of CO2 per year, comparable to the\ncarbon absorption benefit of more than 97,000 trees.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope the steps we have taken can serve as an inspiration and a\ndriver for other retail industry players in Indonesia to join the\njourney towards net zero. This is Trans Mall Group\u2019s tangible\ncontribution to Indonesia \u2014 for a better environment, for future\ngenerations,\u201d Satria concluded.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Adhi Laksmanaputra, VP Commercial at Xurya, said the\ncollaboration with Trans Mall Group is part of a continually expanding\nlong-term relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate Trans Mall Group, which began its partnership with\nXurya with 3 solar projects at Trans Studio Mall, and which has now\ngrown to 16 locations with a total capacity of 12.34 MWp. For us, this\ntrust shows that solar energy utilisation can continue to be expanded\naccording to business operational needs. Going forward, Xurya will\ncontinue to support Trans Mall Group through system operation and\nmaintenance to ensure the solar installations deliver optimal business\nand social value,\u201d Adhi said.<\/p>\n
The strategic partnership underpinning this programme reflects a\nproductive spirit of cross-sector collaboration. The synergy between\nTrans Mall Group as Indonesia\u2019s largest retail and property operator,\nXurya as the pioneer of lease-based solar energy solutions requiring no\nupfront investment in Indonesia, and the strength of the CT Corp and\nMitsui & Co., Ltd.\u00a0ecosystems has produced a programme that not only\ndelivers environmental impact, but also drives the acceleration of the\nrenewable energy transition across the Indonesian retail sector.<\/p>\n
The programme also serves as proof of concept that well-structured\nbusiness collaboration can deliver significant national impact. Through\nthis use of solar energy, Trans Mall Group has also achieved electricity\ncost savings of 8\u201310 per cent per year.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/esg-commitment-trans-mall-group-inaugurates-rooftop-solar-power-installations-1789455183", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
