PLN EPI supports energy transition through Clean Energy Day programme
Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT PLN Energi Primer Indonesia (PLN EPI) has implemented the Clean Energy Day programme and optimised the efficient use of energy as part of the company’s commitment to supporting the energy transition and reducing carbon emissions.
Director of Human Capital Management and Administration at PLN EPI, Dedeng Hidayat, stated in Jakarta on Tuesday that the programme represents the implementation of strategic directives from the government through the SOE Ministry and PT PLN (Persero) in responding to global dynamics, including pressures on the energy supply chain.
“This activity is carried out every Friday and is participated in by all employees and contract workers within the PLN EPI environment,” he said.
According to him, as a subholding of PLN, PLN EPI plays an active role in ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining the sustainability of the company’s operations.
Dedeng emphasised that the transformation towards clean energy does not rely solely on technology but also on behavioural change.
“The commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2060 does not only come from large-scale projects but also from the simple habits we practise every day. The Clean Energy Day programme is a concrete step to build awareness that every individual has a role in reducing emissions and preserving energy sustainability,” he said.
He added that the programme is part of a cultural transformation in the workplace that encourages more efficient, disciplined, and responsible work patterns regarding energy use.
Through the Clean Energy Day programme, employees and contract workers are urged not to use petrol-based vehicles every Friday, and to optimise the use of public transport, electric vehicles, cycling, or walking.
In addition, employees are asked to record their travel history to measure reductions in carbon emissions and fuel efficiency.
Based on internal data, the implementation of this programme has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 45.7 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, equivalent to the use of 18,800 litres of Pertamax or the CO2 absorbed by 500 mangroves over 20 years.
“This programme is not just an initiative but a concrete step to build a new mindset that energy is a resource that must be used wisely and responsibly,” said Dedeng.
