On October 10th, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia awarded the Subroto Prize for the safety category of large power plants (>200MW) to Shenhua Guohua (Indonesia) Java Power Generation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "GuoNeng Indonesia"), a joint venture between China Shenhua Energy Co., Ltd. and Indonesia's national electricity company, in recognition of its outstanding performance in the field of power safety and energy management in Indonesia.

The Subroto Prize is the highest award given by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia. At the award ceremony, the Director of the Electricity Department, Mr. Jiesman, fully affirmed GuoNeng Indonesia's innovative measures in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency, playing a significant role in promoting energy transition and supporting the country's net-zero emissions target.

Alleviating Power Shortages

Located on the western part of Java Island, adjacent to the Java Sea, GuoNeng Indonesia is a joint venture between China Shenhua Energy Co., Ltd. and Indonesia's national electricity company. It is the largest single-unit capacity thermal power unit invested and constructed by Chinese enterprises overseas with independent intellectual property rights. It is also the most efficient and environmentally friendly power station in the history of Indonesia's power construction, with the largest single-unit capacity, the highest parameters, the most advanced technology, and the best indicators. It is also the coal-fired power generation unit with the highest design annual utilization hours in the Indonesian power industry, setting multiple world records for million-kilowatt-class thermal power units.

Since its establishment, GuoNeng Indonesia has always adhered to the principle of "consultation, construction, and sharing", committed to providing safe and sustainable energy security for Indonesia, actively cultivating local power talents, supporting Indonesia's green economic development, and benefiting more local people with the construction achievements of the "Belt and Road" initiative. On October 5, 2017, Indonesian President Joko attended and witnessed the commencement of the project, emphasizing that the construction of the project will greatly alleviate the power shortage in Indonesia, increase job opportunities, and help Indonesia's economic development.

For many years, GuoNeng Indonesia has achieved the goal of zero-accident safe production, generating a total of 55.59 billion kilowatt-hours since its commissioning, ensuring the safe and stable supply of energy in Indonesia and supporting Indonesia's economic and social development. It continues to provide the power grid with safe, efficient, economical, and clean high-quality electrical energy, with leading power generation shares, unit reliability, and environmental protection indicators in the Java power grid in Indonesia.

GuoNeng Indonesia's production and operation have driven the development of upstream industries such as coal and transportation, and also provided energy support for downstream industries such as manufacturing and services, forming a good industrial chain cycle. During the construction period of the project, it directly absorbed more than 5,000 local personnel for employment; during the production and operation period, it provided direct employment opportunities for more than 850 Indonesian employees and workers, and indirectly provided employment opportunities for more than 2,000 people, playing a good supporting role in promoting local full employment.

GuoNeng Indonesia continues to deepen strategic cooperation with domestic and international partners, increasing R&D investment in clean energy, smart grids, and energy storage to ensure future competitiveness in the global energy market. GuoNeng Indonesia also takes the initiative to break through the rigid thinking of "single coal power supply", transforming from traditional single power generation to "thermal power +", carrying out comprehensive energy layout planning, and cooperating in the preliminary preparation of the Karangkandes 100MW floating photovoltaic power generation project, enhancing the brand competitiveness of comprehensive energy transformation and green development.

Fulfilling Social Responsibility

GuoNeng Indonesia takes it as its mission to build a "socially friendly" energy power generation enterprise, continuously providing society with safe, economical, clean, and efficient high-quality electrical energy, actively fulfilling social responsibilities, and participating in social public welfare services. GuoNeng Indonesia takes the initiative to integrate into the construction of local communities, establishing a deep friendship of "people-to-people connectivity" between the people of China and Indonesia, with a total investment of more than 2 million yuan, carrying out more than 20 batches of community assistance, and more than 100 community visits.PT. Indochina Energy ("Indochina Energy") adheres to the concept of "ecological environmental protection and green development", working together with surrounding communities to jointly manage and promote regional environmental protection, and jointly create an overseas construction "green ecological circle".

In terms of green operations, as China's first exported overseas million-kilowatt unit and Indonesia's first ultra-supercritical unit, Indochina Energy has always been committed to the clean and efficient use of coal power, improving power generation efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions during project construction and operation. Indochina Energy continues to carry out zero discharge treatment of wastewater, disposal and treatment of solid waste and hazardous waste, and ecological restoration, using advanced power generation technology and equipment to provide safe, clean, and reliable high-quality power energy protection.

In terms of ecological environment protection and management, Indochina Energy continues to promote ecological environment management, and plans and implements natural ecological protection projects for mangroves and wildlife during the production period. With the joint efforts of Chinese and Indonesian employees, the area of mangroves around the project has expanded year by year, the number of wildlife has gradually increased, and the health status of the ecosystem has been greatly improved. With the restoration of mangroves in recent years, more and more rare wild animals have settled here, biodiversity has been effectively protected, and "lush trees and full bird nests" have become the best testimony to the long-term effectiveness of Indochina Energy's mangrove and wildlife ecological protection.

As one of the earlier Chinese enterprises to "go global", Indochina Energy has become the "bridgehead" for the integrated and collaborative development of the State Energy Group in the Southeast Asian energy market. Indochina Energy is also the cradle for the cultivation of talent in Indonesia's power industry. A batch of excellent local power talents in Indonesia have gone out from here and become a vital force in Indonesia's power industry, helping the local people to share prosperity, openness, innovation, and civilization.
