PLN Indonesia Power strengthens clean energy commitment through hydrogen innovation

Jakarta – PT PLN Indonesia Power (PLN IP) is strengthening its commitment to clean energy development in the country through green hydrogen ecosystem innovation.

Chief Executive Officer of PLN Indonesia Power Bernadus Sudarmanta emphasised that green hydrogen development is part of the company’s long-term strategy in accelerating Indonesia’s national energy transformation.

“PLN Indonesia Power is not only focused on electricity supply, but also taking a strategic role in delivering clean energy solutions for the future. Green hydrogen development is one of our important pillars in supporting decarbonisation of the transportation and industrial sectors, whilst strengthening national energy resilience based on domestic resources,” he stated.

Sudarmanta cited PLN IP’s participation at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026 in Jakarta on 5-15 February 2026 as evidence of the company’s commitment to supporting the national clean energy transition through green hydrogen ecosystem development.

At the event, PLN IP showcased green hydrogen vehicles to the public as a demonstration of the company’s consistency in developing environmentally friendly energy technology.

“This participation is a strategic step by the company in introducing the use of hydrogen as a future energy source for the transportation sector whilst promoting sustainable automotive industry development in Indonesia,” he explained.

In addition to green hydrogen vehicles, PLN Indonesia Power also displayed other clean energy innovations and products, including a dummy hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) and solar photovoltaic systems.

Dindi Wahyu Aldio, Officer for Generation and Project Technology Development at PLN Indonesia Power, added that the transportation sector accounts for approximately a quarter of global carbon emissions, requiring continuous innovation.

“Hydrogen is a potential solution because when used as fuel it produces no carbon emissions and only produces water vapour,” he stated.

However, he continued, hydrogen development cannot proceed in isolation.

“Synergy is needed between industry, government, academia, and society for this ecosystem to grow faster and sustainably. PLN Indonesia Power has begun from the production side through to refuelling infrastructure, and we hope that increasingly more stakeholders will become involved to jointly reduce carbon emissions and realise environmentally friendly transportation in Indonesia,” said Dindi.
