Masdar's participation—it owns 49% of the company—demonstrates a strategic partnership with a financially secure partner. The project's partnership concept, which depends on PLN as an equity partner, defies conventional market logic even if it is in line with international efforts to address climate change.    Masdar's accomplishments in Indonesia go beyond Cirata; the company has investments in Solar Radiance and a geothermal subsidiary of Pertamina. Masdar 's comprehension of Indonesia's distinct market dynamics is crucial, as it highligh...
