Xurya expands into Off-Grid and IPP Solar to power Indonesia’s energy transition
Published on October 1, 2025
ACV Capital–backed Xurya, the pioneer of Indonesia’s no-upfront-cost rental model for solar energy systems (PLTS), has announced a bold expansion into the off-grid Commercial and Industrial (C&I) and Independent Power Producer (IPP) solar markets. The move underscores the company’s commitment to supporting national energy self-sufficiency and reinforces its role as a key player in Indonesia’s clean energy transition and sustainable development goals.
Recognized for its innovative business model, strong technical foundation, and focus on sustainability, Xurya has helped accelerate the adoption of rooftop solar across Indonesia. The company has secured more than 200 MWp of solar project capacity, offering comprehensive end-to-end solutions for C&I clients, including feasibility studies, system design, installation, operations, and maintenance.
The expansion aligns with Indonesia’s Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2025-2035, which targets 38 GW of renewable energy generation by 2035, with solar expected to be the largest contributor. The RUPTL also emphasizes the need to expand access in off-grid and remote regions, an area where Xurya intends to play a pivotal role.
“This decision is not only a business move but also a leap forward in our mission to make clean energy more accessible for everyone,” said Eka Himawan, Managing Director of Xurya. “Through the new RUPTL, the government has shown a stronger commitment to the solar sector. We see growing momentum and importance in the IPP segment, both for PLN and industrial estates, in the energy transition ahead. Xurya is ready to collaborate with all stakeholders to contribute to national energy self-sufficiency, bringing our experience, operational capabilities, and 100% Indonesian experts.”
Xurya previously engaged a tier-1 global consultant to conduct a comprehensive institutional readiness and market study on Indonesia’s solar IPP and off-grid opportunities. The study’s findings have shaped the company’s execution strategy, leveraging its strengths as a leader in Indonesia’s on-grid market, a Certified B Corporation, and a technology-driven organization. The project was carried out with technical assistance from Australian Development Investments (ADI).
“This move does not happen overnight,” added Edwin Widjonarko, Director of Technology at Xurya. “We’ve spent years strengthening our technical and operational capabilities in battery storage technologies, expanding partnerships with local players, and testing off-grid solutions in the field. These efforts now form the foundation for scaling larger IPP projects.”
The study also underscored that success in the IPP sector requires more than financing and engineering, as it also demands strong institutional and ESG readiness. Factors such as Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) are increasingly essential to meet global impact standards and secure sustainable financing.
“Many of the challenges in the off-grid sector are not technical but institutional,” Eka added. “Over the years, we have built not only our technical expertise but also organizational strength and ESG maturity. From being recognized in Forbes Asia’s 100 to Watch to achieving B Corporation certification, Xurya has proven its ability to lead. Moving forward, we remain committed to strengthening our ESG roadmap, advancing our gender action plan, deepening environmental stewardship, and ensuring inclusive benefits for all stakeholders. This is how we contribute to a more self-sufficient and sustainable Indonesia.”
