APT Pranoto Airport is set to become Indonesia's first gateway to utilise solar powered energy after signing a deal to have photovoltaic panels installed on rooftops across the airport site.

Around 1,800 solar panels will allow an annual reduction of 821 tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to planting 12,315 trees per year.

APT Pranoto Airport is to become one of the major airports in Indonesia, following the government's decision to move the capital city from Jakarta to Kutai, East Kalimantan, in 2024.
