Citaglobal Berhad has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Lampung Province in Indonesia to evaluate the feasibility of several green infrastructure projects, including waste-to-energy (WTE), industrial waste biomass and solar power developments.
The agreement establishes a structured framework to assess the technical and commercial viability of renewable energy projects within the Indonesian province, which has a population of more than nine million people.
Citaglobal said the initiative builds on renewable energy and circular economy capabilities it has developed in Malaysia through a series of strategic collaborations and investments.
Among them is its participation in the consortium comprising Masdar, Citaglobal Renewable Energy and TIZA Global for the 200MW floating solar photovoltaic project at Chereh Dam in Pahang, which has secured a power purchase agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad.
The group is also expanding its bioenergy portfolio through a Bio-CNG collaboration with Keppel Decarb, while its 55% stake in LAWI Engineering GmbH provides access to waste-to-energy technologies.
Citaglobal said Lampung offers strong potential for renewable infrastructure due to its sizeable municipal waste management requirements and large agricultural sector, which generates biomass feedstock from commodities such as cassava, coffee and corn.
The province is also seeking to expand clean energy capacity to support industrial downstream activities.
Under the MoU, Citaglobal will coordinate feasibility studies through a Joint Working Group established with the consent of the Lampung Provincial Government.
Should the studies confirm the projects’ viability, Citaglobal will receive the first opportunity to negotiate development terms. The company said further progression would involve evaluating project structures, commercial models and funding arrangements to ensure developments are undertaken on a disciplined and bankable basis.
