It added that these pilot initiatives are intended to enhance digital connectivity and clean energy access across PWM Jawa Timur’s institutional ecosystem, and serve as a foundation for broader

long-term collaboration.

Both parties aim to complete the relevant feasibility studies and begin pilot implementation within six months from the date of signing, subject to the outcomes of technical and commercial assessments.
