TotalEnergies to sign an MOU with Aden Group, an integrated facility and energy-management company
Singapore, 10 January 2022 – TotalEnergies, through its distributed renewable energy generation solutions in Asia, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aden Group, a leader in sustainable & data-driven management of buildings and business/industrial parks. This MoU is aimed at exploring several collaborative prospects to share and provide advanced solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of built assets through solar energy and data-driven energy optimization.
Under the alliance, the partners will team up to explore the potential of TotalEnergies’ development of solar energy projects, as well as Aden Group’s exploration of new clients for digitalized asset lifecycle management in South-East Asia. This will be accomplished by combining TotalEnergies’ expertise in the solar rooftop C&I (Commercial & Industrial) market with Aden Group’s experience in providing innovative energy-management solutions to C&I clients in the region through its digital twin platform, Akila. This is a major step in the regional development of energy and data solutions for both parties: Aden Group, which has +300 clients in its ASEAN cluster and an additional +200 clients in Vietnam; and TotalEnergies, a multi-energy company with more than 50 years of presence in South-East Asia. Furthermore, the partners will work together on developing the sustainability values that they will bring to clients.

As part of this grant, Siemens’ Medium-voltage Switchgear and Distribution Systems will be used in the university's Power System Laboratory. The in-kind technology grant gives students access to the same technology that companies around the world depend on every day to develop innovative products in a wide variety of industries including utilities, oil and gas, mining, data centers and critical buildings, covering all power distribution needs for energy management.
The Medium-voltage Switchgear and Distribution Systems grant are intended to better prepare students and graduates for the complex and competitive medium voltage network and energy automation market and with that also develop their High Voltage circuit breaker knowledge. ITPLN students will have access to Simoprime A4 and Fusesaver protection devices for electrical system. With the equipment in the laboratory of Electricity and Renewable Energy Faculty as well as training on how-to operate the medium-voltage switchgear by ‘Lingkaran Muda’ (Junior Circle) from Smart Infrastructure – Electrification and Automation of Siemens Indonesia, students will be able to monitor the condition of switchgear accurately and successfully mitigate circuit breaker failures.
