Barito Renewables has grown significantly over the years. Today, it is one of Indonesia’s leading clean energy companies with a strong focus on supporting the country’s drive towards net-zero emissions. As the Barito Pacific Group’s renewables energy business, the company brings a powerful combination of industrial strength and environmental responsibility. Built on innovation and operational excellence, its core values and commitment to sustainability drive its growth across geothermal, wind, and other renewable sectors.
DRIVEN BY PURPOSE
Barito Renewables is a reflection of the Barito Pacific Group which was established by visionary Prajogo Pangestu whose business acumen built a diversified business empire closely tied to Indonesia’s development. As the group’s renewable energy arm, Barito Renewables continues this legacy by focusing on growth with environmental responsibility.
As the majority shareholder of Star Energy Geothermal Group, the largest geothermal producer in Indonesia, Barito Renewables plays a key role in delivering sustainable power to millions of homes. The company also leads Indonesia’s clean energy sector through focussed initiatives in Wayang Windu, Salak, and Darajat, ensuring the country’s renewable energy pool remains reliable and sustainable. Its long-term vision focuses on expanding greenfield developments and acquisitions, including the Sidrap Wind Power Plant in South Sulawesi.
The company is also committed to operational integrity and excellence. It designs every project with environmental responsibility in mind. By combining advanced technology with prudent financial investment, Barito Renewables delivers energy solutions that benefit both business and the environment.
SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE
Driven by the philosophy “Make Tomorrow Brighter,” Barito Renewables integrates environmental and social considerations into every aspect of its operations. From energy generation to community development, it works to minimise carbon emissions, protect biodiversity, and improve local livelihoods, aligning with global ESG principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Assessing success by social and planetary impact, the company leads Indonesia’s clean energy movement by stopping millions of tonnes of CO₂ annually through geothermal projects.
EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES
Barito Renewables actively supports education, human development, and environmental conservation across Indonesia through the Bakti Barito Foundation. Its community initiatives focus on skill development, local employment, and infrastructure support near project sites. By engaging with stakeholders, understanding local needs, and creating shared value, the company ensures its growth benefits communities inclusively. Actions like reforestation and safeguarding natural resources support the organisation’s long-term sustainability goals.
