These two exhibitions will feature over 650 exhibitors from 44 countries in Halls A and D of JIExpo Kemayoran and will also host various seminars and discussions on multiple stages. The Water Indonesia exhibition will organize the Indonesia Water Forum, discussing "The Transformation of Drinking Water Towards Golden Indonesia 2024" in collaboration with the Indonesian Drinking Water Companies Association (PERPAMSI) and attended by representatives from various countries in the Southeast Asia Water Utilities Network (SEAWUN). Meanwhile, the Electric & Power Indonesia exhibition will host various discussion sessions over four days in collaboration with the Indonesia Smart Grid Initiative (PJCI), the Indonesian Electricity Society (MKI), the National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) and the Asia Pacific Urban Energy Association (APUEA).

Pamerindo Indonesia, the organizer of the IEE Series 2024, expressed its vision to advance sustainable industry, particularly in the development of urban areas and sustainable cities. "As the largest industrial platform in energy and engineering in Southeast Asia, IEE Series is committed to driving the nation's economy and providing a platform for business actors to meet and open cross-sector business opportunities, both nationally and internationally. Through this event, we also aim to support the government in achieving the renewable energy mix target of 23 percent by 2025. The collaboration and innovation realized here will be the driving force for advancing industry and sustainable development in Indonesia," said Lia Indriasari, country manager of Pamerindo Indonesia.

Indonesia's renewable energy transition is expected to strengthen due to its substantial natural resources, supporting the shift from fossil energy to renewable energy, such as solar energy, geothermal, biomass, bioenergy and marine energy. Therefore, the Electric & Power Indonesia exhibition specifically highlights "The 22nd Series of Power Generation, Renewable Energy & Electrical Equipment Exhibition", showcasing two new areas: solar energy and batteries. In the solar energy sector, some exhibitors will showcase innovations in photovoltaic (PV) cell production equipment, solar cell application systems for various industrial needs such as air conditioning, street lights, solar cell raw materials and various supporting equipment, including software, storage technology and the solar panels themselves. In the storage or battery technology sector, various exhibitors will showcase the latest technology for charging and storing power for electronic devices, industrial equipment, renewable energy storage and electric vehicle charging technology.

Harris, S.T., M.T., head of the Large Survey and Testing Center at the Directorate General of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, stated during the opening ceremony of Energy Week - IEE Series 2024, "Indonesia faces a significant challenge with 87 percent fossil energy use and LPG. The government has developed strategies to implement renewable energy and sustainability while boosting the economy and public welfare. Indonesia has substantial renewable energy potential, such as geothermal and various power plants from natural resources. However, the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy requires involvement from the government, academia, state-owned enterprises, the private sector, media, financing institutions, industry, and others, enabling the government to act as a policy enabler. Thus, exhibitions like this are crucial to driving renewable energy targets by 2040."

The push for renewable energy aligns with the theme of Smart Urban Development & Sustainable City. "Fifty-two percent of Indonesia's 280 million population live in urban areas, and this number continues to increase. We need the development of smart cities, smart public services, comfortable infrastructure, integrated public transportation and various improvements. I appreciate this exhibition for accommodating our shared commitment to stepping toward the future and restoring the future of renewable energy. It can be a collaboration platform between academics, researchers, industry players and policymakers to promote the renewable energy ecosystem to reduce carbon emissions," said Ir. Eddie Widiono S., M.Sc., M.M., founder and chief advisor of PJCI.

During IEE Series 2024 - Energy Week, various topics related to the energy industry and its issues will be widely discussed, involving industry players, association representatives, policymakers and the younger generation. Topics will vary across four stages, from discussions on hydrogen as an alternative clean energy source (Hydrogen as Clean Energy Source), the future road map for Indonesian electricity collaboration (Indonesian Electricity Collaboration Roadmap: Sustainable Energy Policies and Financing for Indonesia's Future) and water security,to Urban Energy Sessions and Power Talk to discuss the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project as a smart city and various renewable energy alternatives and clean energy. In line with the vision of Energy Week, the Battery Show 2025, an initiative from the NBRI, will be launched at this exhibition, along with updates on various sustainability programs in Indonesia at Indonesia Sustainability Updates.

Ensuring industrial sustainability in various SDG aspects

 Energy Week - IEE Series 2024 is expected to pioneer industrial sustainability by emphasizing the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in various fields. Lia Indriasari, country manager of Pamerindo Indonesia, also emphasized in her speech that "as part of our commitment to continually driving the sustainability agenda, we have undertaken many initiatives related to sustainability, reflected in every aspect we present in this exhibition, from energy management, waste management, carbon offset programs, inclusivity and diversity, to education and knowledge sharing. Last year, we successfully implemented 16 out of 17 SDG points." In the field of education and innovation, Pamerindo Indonesia presents the Connecting the Disconnected program, which aims to connect academics, researchers and students directly with industries and related associations. Some programs involve industry players and association representatives offering scholarships to students from three major universities in Indonesia, as well as a Student Visit program from various engineering study programs at universities during the 4-day Energy Week. On the final day of Energy Week, the SHARE-PIE program titled "Innovation Opportunity In Indonesia Energy Sector" will be held, which is a program awarding technology innovation by the younger generation to advance the energy sector.

In transportation and emissions reduction, Energy Week also collaborates with several parties to promote the transition to electric vehicles. Pamerindo collaborates with INVI and KALISTA (a member of Indika Energy Group) to provide electric vehicle charging infrastructure and free EV shuttle buses to and from departure points at Senayan City and Pondok Indah Mall to JIExpo. During Energy Week, several electric vehicle charging stations will be available through partnerships with SSKTama and Starvo.

Pamerindo also envisions educating the exhibition procurement or meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) industry toward more sustainable practices through collaboration with several parties. In collaboration with Fairatmos, Pamerindo Indonesia will implement a Carbon Offset program during the IEE Series 2024 to balance the carbon emissions of visitors traveling to JIExpo with various land restoration and conservation projects, as well as geothermal energy conservation projects in several regions in Indonesia. Visitors are encouraged to calculate their carbon emissions during their journey to JIExpo by accessing http://bit.ly/carbonoffsetatIEE, and Pamerindo will offset these emissions through environmental sustainability projects.

To further educate visitors about sustainability aspects, the IEE Series will also highlight the Better Stand program, where Pamerindo Indonesia educates exhibitors to avoid using single-use stand construction materials and consistently apply sustainability aspects in their stands.

Through the Electric & Power Indonesia and Water Indonesia exhibitions, IEE Series - Energy Week is expected to provide solutions for urban, city and exhibition industry sustainability.
