Mubadala Energy and PLN EPI collaborate on energy solutions for Indonesia

Abu Dhabi-headquartered Mubadala Energy, and PLN Energi Primer Indonesia (PLN EPI), a subsidiary of Indonesia’s energy and electricity supplier, have signed an agreement to supply gas from its gas fields in the Andaman Sea

The proposed partnership will strengthen Indonesia’s energy resilience and reinforce national energy security by reducing the reliance on LNG and developing sustainable solutions to address growing domestic demand. The agreement prioritises energy supply for North Sumatra and Aceh, including leveraging the potential of the Tangkulo gas field, which lies roughly 65 kilometres offshore North Sumatra, with over 2 Trillion Cubic Feet (TCF) of gas-in-place. The agreement also opens the door for further discussions on technical and commercial frameworks.

By combining Mubadala Energy’s global expertise and operational excellence with PLN EPI’s growth plans and strong domestic capabilities, this collaboration aims to deliver solutions that guarantee reliable and sustainable energy for millions of Indonesians. The agreement aligns with Indonesia’s broader strategy to enhance energy security, optimise domestic resources, and build a resilient energy ecosystem.

Abdulla Bu Ali, president director of Mubadala Energy Indonesia, commented, “This agreement reflects our unwavering commitment to Indonesia’s energy future. By partnering with PLN EPI, we aim to deliver reliable and sustainable energy solutions that meet domestic needs and strengthen national energy security. This is also an important step for our development plans of the Tangkulo gas project in the South Andaman Sea.”

Rakhmad Dewanto, president director of PLN Energi Primer Indonesia, said, “PLN EPI continues to support the development of new gas fields in Indonesia and welcomes the development of the Tangkulo gas field in the South Andaman Block by Mubadala Energy. This collaboration is also part of the development of a gas supply portfolio for the power sector to support energy security and the energy transition in Indonesia.”
