In a significant development for the renewable energy sector, PT Xurya Daya Indonesia (Xurya) has secured a substantial $55 million investment from the Norwegian Climate Investment Fund. This latest funding injection marks a pivotal moment for Xurya, a company dedicated to providing rooftop solar rental solutions without the burden of upfront costs in Indonesia.

The announcement, made public on Monday, revealed that the Norwegian Climate Investment Fund, managed by Norfund, played a key role in facilitating this investment. Other notable contributors to this funding round include Swedfund, British International Investment (BII), Clime Capital, and AC Ventures.

With this latest financial backing, Xurya's total capital raised now exceeds $90 million, underscoring the confidence and support the company has garnered from investors. Notably, Swedfund and the Norwegian Climate Investment Fund have directly invested in Xurya, making it the first renewable energy company in Indonesia to receive such backing.

Furthermore, this investment signifies a significant milestone for BII, the impact investor and DFI for the United Kingdom, as it marks their first equity investment in Indonesia under their 2022–2026 investment strategy.

Xurya's contribution to the rapid growth of rooftop solar adoption in Indonesia, particularly in commercial and industrial sectors, underscores its pivotal role in driving sustainable energy solutions. With a strong foundation of support from investors and a commitment to ongoing innovation, Xurya is poised to transform into a global leader in the renewable energy landscape, shaping a more sustainable future for all.
