Singapore-based Green Era Pte Ltd (Green Era) has announced that they have acquired a 33.33% stake in Star Energy Group Holdings Pte Ltd (Star Energy). This marks the launch of the Southeast Asian renewable asset portfolio of Green Era, a Pangestu Family Office special purpose vehicle.

Green Era acquired the 33.33% stake from BCPG Public Company Limited with an all-cash for shares consideration of USD 440 million, corresponding to 250,801 shares. The remaining 66.67% stake of Star Energy is still owned by PT Barito Pacific Tbk, an Indonesia-based integrated energy company.

We’re acquiring a solid geothermal asset, with a proven track record and renewable technology, to achieve clean, sustainable, and profitable growth.” commented Green Era Managing Director Nancy Pangestu.

This acquisition is planned to only be the first in Green Era’s strategy of building a portfolio of renewable energy assets across Southeast Asia with the ultimate goal of supporting the global transition to net zero.
