Longi announces plans for solar panel factory in Indonesia

Chinese solar technology giant Longi Green Energy Technology Co announced plans for a solar panel manufacturing facility in Indonesia on Wednesday.

According to Longi, the facility, which will be run in conjunction with Indonesia's state-owned Pertamina New &Renewable Energy company, underscores a shared commitment to advancing renewable energy adoption in Southeast Asia and Indonesia's ambitious energy transition goals.

The new facility, located in Deltamas, West Java, will have an annual production capacity of 1.6 GW and set to commence manufacturing preparation by June 2025, significantly boosting Indonesia's domestic solar PV production capabilities.

"Indonesia holds immense potential in renewable energy, and Longi is proud to contribute our world-leading solar technology to this transformative journey," said Longi vice-president Dennis She.

"This facility represents not just an investment in manufacturing but a long-term partnership to accelerate Indonesia's clean energy future. By localizing production, we aim to drive down costs, foster innovation, and create high-value green jobs, reinforcing our commitment to a net-zero world."
