Orela-ELPI, through a collaboration with Innovate UK, the British Embassy in Jakarta, and academic and industry partners from Indonesia and the UK, is supporting the development of Indonesia's first marine-based Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FPV) project located on Gili Ketapang Island, East Java.

The project, developed by Solar2Wave, is a collaboration between Cranfield University, the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), Pattimura University, and industry partners including Orela Shipyard and Achelous Energy Ltd. The 27.2 kW FPV system is designed to operate in nearshore marine environments as a clean energy solution for small islands.

Not only does it provide environmentally friendly electricity, but this project also supports the improvement of coastal communities' welfare through the use of energy for productive activities, such as providing ice and cold storage for fishermen to maintain the quality of their catch. This initiative is in line with the commitment to support energy transition, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen the sustainable economy of coastal communities.
