Jakarta, 3 April 2024 -  PT Barito Wind Energy (“Barito Wind”), a subsidiary of PT Barito Renewables Energy Tbk (“Barito Renewables”), proudly announces the successful completion of the acquisition of 99.99% shares in PT UPC Sidrap Bayu Energi (“Sidrap”) from UPC Renewables Asia Pacific Holdings Pte.

This milestone marks Barito Renewables’ strategic expansion into wind energy, complementing its existing geothermal footprint, and underscores its commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions in Indonesia.

Situated in South Sulawesi, Sidrap stands as Indonesia’s pioneering wind farm, boasting a capacity of 75 MW and ranking among the largest in the nation. Integral to this acquisition is PT UPC Operation and Maintenance Indonesia (“OMI”), a vital component in supporting Sidrap’s operational activities.

Hendra Tan, CEO of Barito Renewables expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition, stating, “With the completion of the acquisition of Sidrap, we are taking a significant step forward in our mission to drive sustainable energy growth in Indonesia. This strategic move not only adds a prominent wind energy asset to our portfolio but also reinforces our dedication to pioneering renewable energy solutions for a greener future.”

Funding for this acquisition is provided by PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (“BNI”), one of Indonesia’s leading banks with a strong focus on financing green projects. “We express our gratitude for BNI’s support. Our partnership in this acquisition stands as a testament to our shared commitment to renewable energy. It is our wish that such financial support will continue to flourish in the future,” said Hendra Tan.

In addition to the acquisition of Sidrap and OMI, Barito Wind has also completed the acquisition of three late-stage wind development assets with a combined potential capacity of 320 MW located in South Sulawesi (Sidrap 2), Sukabumi and Lombok in Indonesia. In these three late-stage wind development assets, Barito Wind owns 51% of shares while the other 49% is owned by ACEN Investments HK Limited (“ACEN HK”), a subsidiary of ACEN Renewables International, in turn a wholly-owned unit of ACEN Corporation and a long-term strategic partner of Barito Renewables.
