Another wind power PLTB Jeneponto in South Sulawesi with installed capacity of 72 MW will boost the country’s renewable energy contribution.
The cooperation will encompass encouraging private projects to involve in renewables by devleoping pilot project; provide technical assistance and facilitating financing for renewable energy development, providing renewable energy infrastructure and stimulate international cooperation for transfer of technology and stimulate innovation.
