Takeaways

• 😀 The Industrial Revolution, which began in the 18th century, marked the shift from human labor to machine power, significantly impacting economic growth and income levels.
• 😀 In Indonesia, the industrial sector contributes significantly to the economy but is also responsible for 75.5% of carbon emissions, with electricity consumption in industry accounting for 33.56% of national consumption.
• 😀 The need for clean energy sources in industry is crucial, as industrial sectors must ensure their electricity comes from renewable sources to mitigate climate change impacts.
• 😀 PT Valley Indonesia has implemented clean energy systems, including hydroelectric plants (PLTA), reducing costs and supporting sustainable practices in their production processes.
• 😀 Solar photovoltaic technology (PLTS) is a viable solution for industries of all sizes, allowing them to harness solar energy without the need for additional land, thanks to large rooftops.
• 😀 The cost of solar panels has decreased dramatically, making it more affordable for industries to adopt solar energy. The cost of solar power has become competitive with fossil-fuel-based energy.
• 😀 Companies like PT Aqua Golden Mississippi have successfully integrated PLTS into their operations, reducing their reliance on fossil fuel-based power and making operations more sustainable.
• 😀 The combination of solar energy with the national grid (on-grid systems) allows industries to benefit from both renewable energy and conventional electricity, ensuring stability and cost savings.
• 😀 The growing adoption of PLTS in Indonesia faces challenges such as financing, but solutions like rental schemes and government incentives are helping overcome these barriers.
• 😀 The expansion of PLTS is expected to create significant employment opportunities in the energy sector, including installation, maintenance, and technological development, which is benefiting both urban and rural communities.
