IKEA applies lighting solutions from ABB at its first store in Indonesia

In line with its corporate values to emphasize on the principle of eco-friendly, effective use of energy and resources, IKEA, a leading home furnishings retail company from Sweden, decid-ed to implement lighting solu-tions from ABB at its first store in Indonesia. The first IKEA store in Indonesia, which is located at Alam Sutera, Serpong - West Java, covers an area of 4.5 ha and a modern building area of 35.000 m2 with 4 floors.

The ABB Building Space® solu-tion enables the company to auto-matically and remotely control lighting, in each of the rooms in the buildings in a single inter-face. Several areas in the IKEA store building, such as ware-house and meeting rooms, are equipped with lux sensor and dimmer that smartly and auto-matically control lighting setting

based on the intensity/lumen of sunlight that is emitted to these areas. For example, when the sky is cloudy, lux sensor will automa-tically set lighting up to make the area brighter; on the other side, it will automatically dim lighting in the area upon detecting high intensity of sunlight. In addition to this light sensor, some parts of the IKEA building are also completed with movement sensor. When no one is present in a room, lighting control system will automatically adjusted to eliminate the wasteful use of light.

Roy Kosasih, Division Manager for LP in Indonesia said, “We are very pleased that ABB’s Building Space® solution has been imple-mented in this landmark project for IKEA in Indonesia. The solu-tion is proven to deliver energy savings of up to 10% through constant and dynamic control of

From NASA satellites in space, Myanmar appears as a dark area compared to the country’s more-illuminated neighbors due to its lack of electrical lighting. ABB will help change that, via solar-powered rural electrification that will directly impact the lives of 3,000 people.

ABB is working to bring solar electricity to 10 communities in Myanmar, the latest step in the company’s broader 15-year-old “Access to Electricity” program to expand rural electrification that not only boosts educational opportunities and improves healthcare in developing coun-tries but helps strengthen vulnerable local economies.

The project, where ABB is working with non-profit Pact Myanmar, will establish solar battery charging stations run by women’s groups in remote villages in the Tada Oo township in central Myanmar. Power from these stations will be sold to communities, bringing not merely elec-tricity but economic self-sufficiency, en-trepreneurship and equality - and safety.

“I am excited,” said U Thein Hla, a 70-year-old resident from Wun Pa Tae Village. “Now, we don’t need to worry about fire hazard associated with the use of candle light.”

The project’s launch comes as Solar Im-pulse landed in Mandalay on March 19

With ABB’s help, Solar Impulse – and solar electricity – are coming to Myanmar

on the first-ever round-the-world journey powered by the sun.

ABB and Solar Impulse, likely to stay in Myanmar until next week before flying on to China, have an innovation and tech-nology alliance that in conjunction with ABB’s support of rural electrification in Myanmar demonstrates the potential of renewable energy in boosting economic growth while reducing resource con-sumption.

“I am very touched and excited about this project,” Piccard said, after landing the Solar Impulse plane in Myanmar. “It dem-onstrates that ABB and Pact make our vision a reality.”

Essential infrastructure “Building up the energy infrastructure is essential to Myanmar’s future economic and social progress,” said Johan de Vil-liers, managing director of ABB in Singa-pore and Southeast Asia. “By supporting this grass-roots project, ABB will ensure that the communities around Mandalay will continue to benefit long after the Solar Impulse airplane has departed.”

In addition, the program backed by ABB and Pact Myanmar will provide financial support to villages so they can buy solar equipment at the community level.

This project is the latest in ABB’s “Access

to Electricity” rural electrification program, developed more than a decade ago as a response to the United Nations Global Compact that urged companies and or-ganizations to provide greater assistance to least-developed countries.

Since becoming one of the first to enlist in the program, ABB has partnered with groups including in Rajasthan, India start-ing in 2005 to provide solar power for re-mote communities near Jodhpur.

Thousands benefit In 2013, ABB expanded its commitment on the subcontinent to a village just across a river from Sundarbans National Parks, a United Nations’ World Heritage-designated Royal Bengal tiger reserve, as part of a project that will not only help vil-lagers but also protect endangered wild-life.

Thousands of people are benefiting from these programs, including artisan weav-ers who have increased productivity and profit, school children who now have light to study by and people seeking as-sistance from medical clinics where the availability of electricity is improving and extending services.

ABB has announced that it will partner with non-profit organisation Pact Myanmar to bring solar power to a rural village in Myan-mar, where ABB opened an office in 2014. ABB will soon switch on the lights in Yay Htwet Gyi, a village near Mandalay, Myanmar, improving livelihoods and bringing a brighter future for hundreds of children. ABB photo/Mick Ryan

And now in Myanmar, where ABB opened an office last year in Yangon after an ab-sence of 20 years to help the country develop its infrastructure, it’s estimated ABB’s support of Pact Myanmar’s Re-newable Energy Fund will immediately provide 3,000 vulnerable people suffering from lack of electricity with power for their lighting, communication and health care needs.

“Students will be able to study at night,” said Daw Kyi, a resident of Kyaung Kone Village, located about 130 kilometers west of Yangon. “This project promises a brighter future for our children.”

According to the World Bank, more than three-quarters of Myanmar’s 50 million residents have no access electricity.

From NASA satellites, however, the coun-try appears far darker than its better-illu-minated neighbors who are experiencing the benefits of electriciation in both rural and urban areas.

ABB aims to underscore how technology and innovation, via projects like this and its endeavor with Solar Impulse, offer the best opportunities for all communities to tackle energy challenges – whether it’s bringing electricity with fewer losses and greater efficiency from remote re-newables installations to urban areas or simply powering a radio that fills rural villagers’ lives with music.

“Whether it is on a small rural commu-nity level, nationally, or internationally, we have shown that the possibilities for de-coupling economic growth from energy consumption and environmental pollution are very real,” de Villiers said.
