The 600 kilowatts-peak (kWp) system will have the capacity to generate 755 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity a year,covering around 20% of the airport's power needs,and enough to power 54 Indonesian 4-bedroom houses. Around1,800 solar panels will allow an annual reduction of 821 tons of CO2 emissions,equivalent to planting 12,315 trees per year.

APT Pranoto Airport is to become one of the major airports in Indonesia,following the Government's decision to move the capital city from Jakarta to Kutai,East Kalimantan,in 2024.

"Total Solar DG is proud to be able to support the government in their sustainability commitments and especially on this prestigious project to relocate the capital city. This project will drive down costs and carbon footprint in a safe and sustainable way,"said Gavin Adda,CEO of Total Solar DG SEA.

On Monday,25 November 2019 in Jakarta,both Total Solar DG and APT Pranoto Airport have come to an agreement and signed the contract.

We are very proud to be able to lead the way towards this program and sincerely hope this project will add a positive contribution to the country and it may serve as exemplar for other airports."
