DSSA Reinforces Strategic Commitment to Advancing Indonesia’s Energy Infrastructure and Digital Connectivity
Jakarta, April 2, 2026 – PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk (IDX: DSSA) (“DSSA” or “the Company”) reaffirms its commitment to supporting Indonesia’s macro needs in energy transition and digital connectivity through the integration of digital infrastructure and responsible energy transition. This commitment is reflected in the acceleration of renewable energy adoption, the transformation toward sustainable mining practices, and the expansion of digital infrastructure through AI-driven solutions and broader access to information—contributing to a greener and more inclusive future for Indonesia.
This was conveyed during a Media Gathering event, which served as a strategic forum to share insights on industry developments and DSSA’s future business direction.
Focus on Renewable Energy Development as a Long-Term Strategy
DSSA’s management emphasized that the energy sector remains the foundation of the Company’s business, with a focus on efficient and sustainable operations. This strategy is implemented through strengthened sustainable mining practices, including improved energy efficiency and integrated environmental management.
A key initiative includes the acceleration of operational fleet electrification (EV fleets) at PT Borneo Indobara (BIB). This initiative not only reduces operational costs but also pioneers the transition toward green mining in the sector. Through the adoption of such technologies, DSSA ensures its operations remain relevant to future energy demands while actively reducing carbon emissions.
DSSA continues to gradually strengthen its renewable energy portfolio, particularly in geothermal and solar energy, to create a more balanced energy mix. This step is strategic given that Indonesia holds approximately 40% of the world’s geothermal potential—one of the most reliable sources of green baseload energy in the long term.
This commitment is demonstrated through the operation of a 1 GW integrated solar panel manufacturing facility in Kendal Special Economic Zone (KEK Kendal) and the development of geothermal projects through PT DSSR Daya Mas Sakti. With a total potential of up to 440 MW, DSSA is currently accelerating exploration across six strategic areas—from Cisolok and Cipanas in West Java to regions in Sumatra, Flores, and Central Sulawesi. To strengthen technical and operational capabilities, DSSA has also established a strategic partnership with PT FirstGen Geothermal Indonesia, a subsidiary of Energy Development Corporation (EDC).
“Our approach is to maintain the reliability of current energy supply while gradually developing lower-emission energy sources as part of our long-term strategy. At the same time, we continue to strengthen operational excellence through greener, more efficient, and sustainable practices—from improving efficiency and optimizing energy and resource use to digitalizing operations and reducing emissions and waste in a measurable way,” said Lokita Prasetya, Vice President Director of DSSA.
These efforts are part of DSSA’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 through a gradual and measurable transition approach.
Strengthening Digital Infrastructure to Capture Growth Opportunities
In line with the rapid growth of the digital economy, DSSA continues to strengthen its digital infrastructure and technology business to support Indonesia’s increasing demand for connectivity and data management.
This strategic move is reinforced through a partnership with iFLYTEK to accelerate AI-based transformation in Indonesia, including the development of machine learning solutions and advanced analytics capabilities through ASIX. This synergy aims to build a smarter and more efficient digital ecosystem across various industries.
“The growing demand for data and connectivity is a key driver of our digital business expansion. We see significant opportunities to support more equitable digital penetration while addressing existing gaps and providing accessible AI-based solutions,” said Marlo Budiman, Director of DSSA.
Currently, DSSA operates approximately 57,000 km of fiber optic network, with more than 9 million homepass and around 1 million broadband subscribers through MyRepublic Indonesia. This scale provides a strong foundation to expand digital access across the country.
This infrastructure is further supported by the development of a national data center network, including 24 Edge Data Centers across 23 strategic markets from Medan to Manado, ensuring low-latency data processing. In addition, DSSA is preparing the Jakarta SMX01 Flagship Hub, a Tier-IV AI-ready facility with an initial capacity of 18 MW, located in Jakarta’s CBD and targeted to begin operations in the second half of 2026.
Market opportunities remain significant, with around 50 million people still underserved in terms of internet access, and the national telecommunications market valued at approximately USD 29 billion. The fixed broadband market itself is projected to grow by around 10% annually in the coming years.
To capture these opportunities, DSSA is implementing several strategic initiatives, including strengthening its fiber network through Moratelindo, expanding data center capabilities, and exploring AI-based technologies.
Strengthening DSSA’s Strategic Position in the National AI Ecosystem
Throughout 2026, DSSA is also undertaking several strategic initiatives to strengthen its business structure, including plans for a stock split and exploring partnerships in the energy and technology sectors.
DSSA emphasized that its business development will be carried out in a phased manner—maintaining its strength in the energy sector while capturing growth opportunities in the digital sector.
David Audy, Director of DSSA, added, “We see a future where Indonesia increasingly adopts Artificial Intelligence (AI), supported by two key foundations: reliable energy and widespread digital connectivity. That is why DSSA is building both in an integrated manner—maintaining reliable energy supply while accelerating the development of low-emission energy such as geothermal. At the same time, we continue to strengthen digital infrastructure as the backbone of a data-driven economy.”
“With this foundation, DSSA is strategically positioned as both an enabler and a beneficiary of AI adoption in Indonesia,” he concluded.
