Masdar and Indonesia’s PLN join forces for Southeast Asia’s largest FPV, Cirata, with plans to triple its capacity to 500 MW, and to explore global renewable energy opportunities and green hydrogen development. The recently launched 145 MW Cirata project on the Cirata reservoir in West Java, powers 50,000 homes and reduces 214,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
