Conergy connects 1 MW PV plant in Sumba Island, Indonesia, to the grid

Conergy on February 22nd, 2017 announced that it has completed and connected
to the grid the first utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in
Sumba Island, East Nusa Tenggara province.

The 1 MW PV facility was built in cooperation with PT. Buana Energi Surya
Persada. The Sumba plant is Conergy's first utility-scale PV project in
Indonesia.

Construction of the solar PV plant began in September 2016 and was completed
in January 2017, with a total investment of USD 2.2 million (IDR 28
billion).

The new solar PV plant will generate more than 1,400 MWh of solar power per
year and is expected to provide power to more than 11,600 households in the
Sumba area.

The energy produced by the solar plant will be sold to PLN through a
long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) and will supplement the existing
electricity supply in the area.

"Sumba is one of the regions which holds massive solar power potential,
since the area receives sunlight at an average of 5 kWh/m/day and radiation
of 1,000 watts/m throughout 5 hours every day," said Rico Syah Alam,
President and CEO of PT. Energi Surya Buana Persada.
