President Director of PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia Takahide Hori highly appreciates the performance of the company and all stakeholders for their cooperation and collaboration in various programs so that the company can continue to increase its contribution to the community in Batang Regency.

"Through the Sustainable Watershed (DAS Lestari) and Biodiversity Program, we have made efforts to restore and maintain ecosystems upstream and coastal to overcome the potential for landslides and coastal abrasion by planting thousands of species of multifunctional trees, tens of thousands of mangroves, and thousands of protective trees, installing artificial fish houses and artificial coral reefs. As a result, not only increasing the community's fishery yields, but also increasing the absorption of greenhouse gas emissions in the Batang Power Plant area. In addition, the cooperative development program, and the replacement land program that we have implemented have also had a positive impact on the beneficiaries. We hope that all these efforts can realize the independence of the community in Batang Regency," said Takahide Hori.
