Right People Renewable Energy

What Right People Renewable Energy does

Right People Renewable Energy (RPRE) is a Singapore-headquartered cleantech startup founded in 2018 that designs, supplies and commissions off-grid hybrid renewable energy systems for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients, primarily in Indonesia and Singapore. The company's core technology integrates solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and diesel gensets into custom-engineered hybrid configurations, with on-site energy audits, power-quality analysis, and energy-efficiency consultancy informing system sizing. Projects are delivered as full-scope EPC contracts with post-commissioning monitoring, operations and maintenance (O&M), and 100% project insurance coverage for natural and man-made risks is provided to improve bankability. The flagship reference is a 214.4 kWp PV / 556 kWh battery installation at Gangga Island Resort & Spa in northern Sulawesi, which won the Global Solar & Energy Storage 'Energy Storage Project of the Year' award in 2019.

Revenue model

1. EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) project sales: One-time / project-based revenue from designing and installing hybrid solar + battery + genset systems for C&I clients, plus recurring post-commissioning operations and maintenance contracts. RPRE also holds distribution rights and partnerships with solar module, battery, and inverter manufacturers, allowing margin on hardware.
2. Mini Green Bond financing / impact investment intermediation: RPRE structures project financing via mini green bonds (e.g., USD 300,000 4-year bond with 12.7% IRR, semi-annual principal+coupon repayments) that release working capital previously locked in EPC projects and enable further deployments. The 1 January 2020 bond funds the Gangga Island Resort & Spa project.
3. Operations & maintenance and monitoring services: Recurring post-commissioning monitoring, operations and maintenance (O&M) services for installed renewable energy systems, generating ongoing revenue beyond the initial EPC sale.
4. Hardware distribution (solar modules, batteries, inverters): RPRE holds distribution rights and partnerships with multiple known suppliers, providing solar modules, batteries and inverters at competitive prices bundled into its EPC offerings.

Core offering

Right People Renewable Energy (RPRE) is a Singapore-headquartered cleantech company that designs, supplies, and installs off-grid hybrid solar PV and battery energy storage systems for commercial and industrial clients. It delivers full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services along with post-installation operations and maintenance, and operates primarily in Indonesia with additional activity in Singapore.

Product overview

Right People Renewable Energy (RPRE) operates as a renewable energy services provider rather than a single unified software platform. Its offering is structured as a portfolio of complementary service modules that together cover the full spectrum of a client's transition from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy: Energy Audit (initial analysis), Energy Efficiency (consultancy), Solar Solutions (PV generation), Battery Solutions (energy storage), EPC Services (Engineering, Procurement and Construction), and Monitoring, Operations and Maintenance (O&M). These modules are deployed primarily as off-grid and hybrid (Solar, Batteries, Genset) systems for commercial and industrial clients in Indonesia, with the Mini Green Bond serving as an innovative financing product that wraps the Solar and Battery Solutions modules for impact investors.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• d.light: Global off-grid solar and PAYG provider serving emerging-market residential and small-commercial customers. Comparable as an impact-mission, off-grid distributed-generation operator, though typically smaller system sizes than RPRE's C&I focus.
• Sun King Energy: Off-grid solar distributor and PAYG operator across Africa and Asia serving households and small businesses. Comparable impact-finance/distributed-solar model and emerging-market customer base, though different end-customer profile than RPRE's C&I segment.

Broad incumbents

• Sunseap (Engie Solar): Singapore-headquartered solar IPP and C&I solar developer (acquired by Engie). Comparable in target customers and Singapore-anchored C&I distributed-PV model, but operates at significantly larger scale with developer-style project finance.
• PT Adaro Energy: Major Indonesian integrated energy group with growing renewables exposure (including C&I solar and hybrid initiatives). Comparable as an Indonesia-based energy supplier, though with a coal-heavy legacy business competing for the same off-grid C&I diesel-displacement RFPs.
• Sembcorp Solar: Large Singapore-based energy and urban developer with a growing distributed-solar business serving C&I customers across Asia. Indirectly competitive as a much larger incumbent able to bundle financing, project development, and O&M.

Direct peers

• SUN Energy Indonesia: Indonesian solar EPC and IPP focused on commercial, industrial and utility-scale PV deployments. Highly comparable as a Singapore/Indonesia-anchored C&I solar installer competing for the same off-grid and hybrid diesel-replacement projects RPRE targets.
• Cleantech Solar: Singapore-headquartered C&I solar PV developer with regional Asia operations and long-term O&M offering. Comparable in customer segment (C&I off-takers), financing-led go-to-market, and recurring O&M model — directly competitive for the same Indonesia/Singapore C&I rooftop and hybrid projects.
• PT Surya Energi Indonesia: Indonesian solar EPC firm delivering PV systems for commercial, industrial and agricultural customers. Direct competitor in the Indonesian C&I solar market with overlapping service scope (design, EPC, O&M).

Others

• Worley: Global engineering services firm with energy-project execution capabilities and a strong Indonesia presence. Comparable as an EPC and project-management talent pool (LJ Jang, RPRE's Biz Dev Manager Indonesia, is a Worley alumna), though Worley is a services provider to project owners rather than a C&I solar developer.
• IIX (Impact Investment Exchange): Singapore-based impact-investment platform listed as an investor in RPRE. Comparable as an ecosystem partner/impact-capital enabler for emerging-market cleantech, illustrating the broader SEA impact-finance ecosystem RPRE participates in rather than a direct competitor.
