Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Indonesia (CCEP Indonesia) inaugurated on Tuesday (January 21) a new rooftop solar power plant at its Mega Distribution Center and PSD Pandaan factory in Pasuruan, East Java, as part of its commitment to support Indonesia’s energy transition and the government's renewable energy goals.
The solar power plant, covering 27,967 square meters, has a capacity of 2.4 MegaWatt peak (MWp) and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 2 million kilograms of CO2 annually. This move aligns with Indonesia’s target of achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060 and increasing its renewable energy mix to 23% by 2025.
Pasuruan Regent Nurkholis emphasized East Java's role as a hub for industrial development and the importance of accelerating energy transitions in the manufacturing sector. He noted that the region aims to boost its renewable energy mix to 12.5% by 2025.

Lucia Karina, Director of Public Affairs, Communications, and Sustainability at CCEP Indonesia, highlighted that the installation is part of the company’s broader sustainability efforts, including the global RE100 initiative, which targets 100% renewable energy by 2030.
The initiative builds on CCEP Indonesia’s previous success in 2020 when the company commissioned Southeast Asia’s largest rooftop solar power plant, with a capacity of 7.134 MWp, significantly reducing emissions. CCEP has also implemented energy-efficient technologies, including 200,000 energy-saving refrigerators and a shift from diesel to natural gas and LNG for operational use.
