JAKARTA, OCTOBER 2, 2025 – ZONAEBT, a leading Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) trading platform, proudly announces a monumental achievement in its mission to support the global energy transition. Through its platform, ZONAEBT successfully facilitated the trading of a substantial volume of RECs, totaling 69 Gigawatt-hours (GWh). These RECs originated from a Mini Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH) in Indonesia and were delivered to a strategic buyer abroad.
This successful transaction is more than a commercial achievement; it’s a historic milestone that affirms ZONAEBT’s role as a vital bridge between renewable energy producers in Indonesia and the global market. The accomplishment proves that Indonesia’s clean energy infrastructure is highly attractive and competitive to international investors and companies committed to sustainability.
“We are very proud of this success because it is tangible proof that Indonesia’s renewable energy not only has huge potential but is also ready to contribute significantly to global climate targets,” said I Kadek Alamsta Suarjuniarta, CEO of ZONAEBT. “By facilitating the trade of 69 GWh of RECs, we are not only helping companies abroad meet their sustainability targets, but also providing a strong financial incentive for PLTMHs to continue operating and investing in clean energy development. This is a mutually beneficial and sustainable business model that accelerates the growth of the green economy.”
Real Impact on Local Producers and the Green Economy
The successful 69 GWh REC transaction directly provides a significant boost for PLTMHs in Indonesia. This large trading volume not only ensures the plants’ operational sustainability but also opens up new investment opportunities for facility modernization and expansion.
This REC trade also serves as a concrete example of how financial technology and clean energy can synergize to create a more inclusive and sustainable economy. The financial incentives received by local producers from REC sales allow them to increase production capacity, create green jobs, and strengthen renewable energy infrastructure at the grassroots level.
REC Trading Mechanism: Transparency and Real Impact
RECs function as digital certificates that prove electricity has been generated from a renewable energy source. Each REC represents one Megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean electricity produced. This instrument is a crucial tool for companies to measure, track, and report their progress in reducing carbon emissions.
ZONAEBT ensures every transaction is conducted with full transparency, is verified, and complies with international I-REC standards, giving full confidence to all parties involved. This process involves strict validation from the power plant source to certificate issuance, ensuring the integrity and credibility of the RECs being traded. International buyers can use these RECs to claim renewable energy use and fulfill their sustainability reporting obligations, which are increasingly important in today’s global business landscape.
Looking Ahead: Accelerating the Energy Transition
This achievement further motivates ZONAEBT to continue expanding its network, both domestically and internationally. Moving forward, ZONAEBT will focus on further digitalization and adding new renewable energy producer partners. The main goal is to simplify REC access and trading, thereby accelerating the pace of the global energy transition.
“We see a continuously increasing demand from global companies to buy high-quality RECs from Southeast Asia. Indonesia’s position as one of the countries with the greatest renewable energy potential makes it a key player in this market,” added I Kadek Alamsta Suarjuniarta. “We are committed to being a catalyst, connecting this huge potential with the global need for clean energy. We are confident that with strong cooperation among all parties, we can collectively build a greener future.”
