PT Xurya Daya Indonesia (Xurya) has signed an agreement with Ambri, a provider of long-duration energy storage based in the United States of America (USA), to use Ambri’s Liquid Metal™ energy storage systems in Indonesia and Singapore. Ambri’s technology increases renewable energy penetration by storing excess energy produced by intermittent resources, such as wind and solar, and discharging the energy later when it’s needed – maximizing utilization of renewable energy. 

Through this partnership, Xurya will be responsible for introducing and marketing Ambri’s technology, acting as local technical support and providing after-sales services when needed.  

“This is an exciting partnership with Xurya, as Indonesia represents enormous renewable energy potential and growth. We are proud to support Indonesia and Singapore taking full advantage of the many benefits of renewable, reliable, and sustainable energy by leveraging Ambri’s energy storage technology,” said Adam Briggs, Chief Commercial Officer at Ambri.

Unlike other utility-scale energy storage technologies such as hydroelectric dams, Ambri’s Liquid Metal™ battery technology is fundamentally changing the way power grids operate by increasing the contribution from renewable resources and reducing the need to build traditional power plants.

Dr. N. Edwin Widjonarko, Co-Founder & Director of Technology of Xurya said, “We believe that Ambri’s system is the perfect BESS solution for utility-scale applications in Indonesia. We believe that this state-of-the-art technology is key in the modernization of our power sector and in our energy transition to renewable energy.”

Built for daily cycling — even in extreme, harsh environments — combined with a lifespan of 20+ years with minimal fade, Ambri systems are extremely reliable. In addition to reliability, Ambri systems are incredibly safe as they do not produce or emit any gasses, and there is no possibility for thermal runaway.

“Through this collaboration, we hope Ambri’s technology can one day be used widely across the Indonesian archipelago to optimize the utilization of Indonesia’s vast renewable energy resources and therefore paving for the success of Indonesia’s energy transition process,” he concluded.
