Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy is gaining recognition. The British Chambers of Commerce Indonesia was interested in visiting the CoE EARE facilities to explore energy access opportunities in Indonesia. However, for one reason or another, this visit was changed to virtual visit via Zoom. On 15 July 2022, CoE EARE had the opportunity to present the CoE Academy Project and the EcoStruxure XR Operator Advisor project for Renewable Energy equipment to delegates from BritCham Indonesia, Innovate UK, and several British companies engaged in the energy sector, such as Inclusive Energy, Blockchain & Climate Institute, CARNOT, dpSun, Ronsek Limited, ACELERON, Lind Electronics and STRAW INNOVATIONS LTD. We look forward to the delegates directly visiting CoE facilities in BBPPMPV BMTI Kemdikbud and building future collaborations.

On 8 November 2022, our co-director, Mr. Manuel AZIBI, had the honour to meet with Mr. Chris Avrain, Business Development Director of Industrial Supply of Schneider Electric East Asia Japan and Mrs. Aswita W. Saragih, Business Development of Education of Schneider Electric Indonesia at Schneider Electric Indonesia headquarters in Jakarta.

The work already done with SENAR and XR OA, paves the way to new challenges for the CoE, especially with industrial supervision and expert automation software from AVEVA. Thank you for the interesting discussion. We are looking forward to our future collaboration!
