- PT. Arkora Hydro Tbk (ARKO.JK) is an Indonesian company engaged in the development, construction, and operation of hydroelectric power plants and renewable energy projects. The company offers engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for hydropower facilities; operation and maintenance (O&M) services for power plants; and energy sales through power purchase agreements with utilities and industrial customers. Its core portfolio includes run-of-river hydropower plants with capacities ranging from 1 MW to 10 MW, mini-hydropower systems, and related infrastructure such as turbines, generators, and control systems manufactured to international standards.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia, Arkora Hydro primarily serves the domestic market in Indonesia, targeting state-owned electricity company PLN and private off-grid industrial users in Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi regions. The company operates in the renewable energy sector, focusing on sustainable hydropower within the broader clean energy segment, with expansion into hybrid solar-hydro systems. It maintains subsidiaries for project development and EPC execution, positioning itself as a key player in Indonesia's energy transition goals.
In the last two years, Arkora Hydro has undergone significant strategic shifts, including its initial public offering (IPO) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in early 2024, raising capital for pipeline expansion. The company announced a major partnership with a Chinese turbine supplier in mid-2025 to localize manufacturing and reduce costs for upcoming 5 MW projects in Sumatra. Additionally, it launched a new 3 MW hydropower plant in Java in late 2024 and acquired a development-stage mini-hydro asset in Sulawesi, enhancing its operational capacity to over 50 MW by end-2025.
