- Aslan Energy Capital hosted a tender workshop in Batam for its 1,200 MWp solar project, a key step in developing Indonesia’s largest solar plant.
- The project will power hydrogen production, create 2,000+ jobs, and rehabilitate post-mining land.
Aslan Energy Capital, a clean energy firm based in Singapore, has taken a significant step toward developing Indonesia’s largest solar power project. The company recently hosted a successful tender clarification workshop in Batam, marking an important milestone in its ongoing Request for Qualification (RFQ) process.
According to a press release, the workshop attracted leading solar developers across Asia, reflecting strong regional interest in the ambitious 1,200 MWp utility-scale solar plant. This project will be the foundation of Aslan’s sustainable hydrogen hub, which aims to link solar energy generation with green hydrogen production for export.
“This solar project will not only be the largest in Indonesia—it also sets a new benchmark for energy innovation by enabling utility-scale solar to power green hydrogen production,” said Muthu Chezhian, CEO of Aslan Energy Capital, during the event’s opening remarks. “Indonesia is uniquely positioned to lead the region’s transition to clean energy. This initiative reflects our deep commitment to environmental restoration and inclusive growth.”
Strategically located in the Riau Islands, the project supports Indonesia’s renewable energy goals and positions Batam as Southeast Asia’s regional clean energy hub. As outlined on the company’s website, Aslan also plans to build Asia’s largest green hydrogen production facility, which will supply power to hyperscale data centres.
Notably, the solar development includes environmental rehabilitation efforts. Aslan will install parts of the solar farm on post-mining lands, turning degraded areas into productive clean energy sites. In addition, the project should create over 2,000 local jobs and drive community upliftment through targeted social impact programs.
During the workshop, bidders received detailed briefings on the technical scope, commercial terms, and integration plans for the solar and hydrogen facilities. Open Q&A sessions promoted transparent dialogue on permitting, grid connectivity, and collaboration frameworks, reinforcing Aslan’s commitment to inclusive and transparent project development.
Since launching the RFQ process in Q4 2024, Aslan has received 31 Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from global renewable energy developers. Of these, 17 companies have advanced to the final bidding round, reflecting strong international confidence in the project.
In the coming months, Aslan Energy Capital will continue to engage with shortlisted bidders as it moves closer to project execution. This landmark initiative accelerates Indonesia’s clean energy transition and paves the way for a sustainable and economically vibrant future for the region.
