Sabella has signed an MoU with PLP and MEINDO to supply renewable electricity to remote areas of Indonesia .
The aim of this agreement is to develop ocean current energy in Indonesia for remote areas of the country.
The turbines to be deployed in Indonesia will be of 100 kW to 2.500 kW in capacity.
