ESG Commitment: Trans Mall Group Inaugurates Rooftop Solar Power Installations
Trans Mall Group has officially launched its Rooftop Solar Power Plant (PLTS Atap) programme, making it one of the largest rooftop solar installations in Indonesia. The inauguration, held at the Transmart Cempaka Putih head office in Jakarta, marks the completion of solar installations across all 16 Trans Mall Group locations (13 Transmart sites and 3 Trans Studio Malls), spread across 14 cities and 11 provinces throughout Indonesia.
The inauguration also affirms Transmart’s position as a green retail pioneer in the national modern retail industry. Satria Hamid Ahmadi, Human Resources & Corporate Communications Director of PT Trans Retail Indonesia, emphasised that the inauguration is not merely a technical achievement, but a statement of the company’s strategic direction.
“The simultaneous implementation of rooftop solar at our 16 locations is tangible proof that Trans Mall Group is serious about fulfilling its ESG commitment as part of our business DNA, not just a supplementary agenda. We want to prove that Indonesian modern retail can lead the energy transition, and the success of this programme provides a strong foundation for our subsequent sustainability steps,” he said in an official statement on Tuesday (15/9/2026).
The programme is the result of a strategic collaboration between Trans Mall Group and PT Xurya Daya Indonesia (Xurya), supported by the long-term partnership between CT Corp and Mitsui & Co., Ltd., with Xurya being an affiliate of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Its realisation demonstrates that environmental sustainability commitments and a strong business strategy can genuinely go hand in hand.
With an installed capacity of 12.34 MWp (approximately 12,000 kWp) utilising 90,600 square metres of roof space and 21,000 solar panels, the Trans Mall Group rooftop solar installation is capable of converting sunlight into around 16.8 GWh (16 million kWh) of clean electricity each year. This step is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by more than 13 million kilograms (13,000 tonnes) of CO2 per year, comparable to the carbon absorption benefit of more than 97,000 trees.
“We hope the steps we have taken can serve as an inspiration and a driver for other retail industry players in Indonesia to join the journey towards net zero. This is Trans Mall Group’s tangible contribution to Indonesia — for a better environment, for future generations,” Satria concluded.
Meanwhile, Adhi Laksmanaputra, VP Commercial at Xurya, said the collaboration with Trans Mall Group is part of a continually expanding long-term relationship.
“We appreciate Trans Mall Group, which began its partnership with Xurya with 3 solar projects at Trans Studio Mall, and which has now grown to 16 locations with a total capacity of 12.34 MWp. For us, this trust shows that solar energy utilisation can continue to be expanded according to business operational needs. Going forward, Xurya will continue to support Trans Mall Group through system operation and maintenance to ensure the solar installations deliver optimal business and social value,” Adhi said.
The strategic partnership underpinning this programme reflects a productive spirit of cross-sector collaboration. The synergy between Trans Mall Group as Indonesia’s largest retail and property operator, Xurya as the pioneer of lease-based solar energy solutions requiring no upfront investment in Indonesia, and the strength of the CT Corp and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ecosystems has produced a programme that not only delivers environmental impact, but also drives the acceleration of the renewable energy transition across the Indonesian retail sector.
The programme also serves as proof of concept that well-structured business collaboration can deliver significant national impact. Through this use of solar energy, Trans Mall Group has also achieved electricity cost savings of 8–10 per cent per year.
