Manager of PLN UP3 Semarang, Eric Rossi Priyo Nugroho, said that through the purchase of the 1,385 kilo volt ampere (kVA) REC, PT MAS Sumbiri contributed to supporting the program to accelerate the achievement of Indonesia's new renewable energy mix target of 23 percent by 2025. "REC is also a manifestation of PLN's commitment to realizing Indonesia's Net Zero Emission target by 2060. To PT MAS Sumbiri, we congratulate you on the legality of using EBT," said Eric in a press release, Sunday (23/1/2022).

Eric on the occasion also revealed that his party is optimistic that PLN's REC service products can be one of the solutions in an effort to encourage the use of clean energy in the country, especially in the city of Semarang.
