Pertamina to Showcase Clean Energy Farming Innovation at Subak Sembung to ASEAN Delegates

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is preparing to showcase its clean energy-based sustainable farming initiative during a visit by ASEAN Council on Petroleum and Energy (ASCOPE) delegates to the Subak Sembung area in North Denpasar on October 28, 2026.

The visit is expected to draw around 150 participants from ASEAN member countries, who will be introduced to renewable energy applications through Pertamina's Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program 'Uma Palak Lestari.' The company's Ngurah Rai Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT) is coordinating with local government and the Uma Palak Lestari business group to prepare the site.

The program combines solar power (PLTS) and micro-hydro power (PLTMH) to support local farming, including a solar-powered irrigation system with soil moisture sensors (SIUMA), electric tractors, rice threshers, and rice milling and drying machines. The initiative also includes 43 solar street lights along farm access roads.

Beyond agriculture, the Uma Palak Lestari area has become a hub for eco-tourism, sports activities, and small and micro businesses (UMKM), with increased visitor traffic benefiting parking operators and local service providers.

In August 2026, Pertamina provided the group with three additional electric tractors and one electric thresher. Nationally, Indonesia has also launched a 100 gigawatt-peak solar power program starting from Gilimanuk, Bali, as part of broader efforts to strengthen energy independence.
