JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk continues its partnership with Total Solar DG to build second solar panel or photovoltaic (PV) installation in the former Cilegon plan. The rooftop PV installation will power Chandra Asri's warehouses, laboratory building and charging station for electrical forklifts, reducing up to 438 ton of CO2 emission. It is set to produce an addition of 554 megawatt-hours of solar powered electricity which represents an equivalent of 40 households consumption and will allow to save as much CO2 as planting almost 7000 trees.
