WI.Plat Signs Performance-Based NRW Reduction Agreement with Palembang PDAM in Indonesia

WI.Plat Transfers AI-Based Smart Water Management System to Indonesia
As Part of KOICA’s Inclusive Business Solution (IBS) Program

On July 22, 2025, WI.Plat Co., Ltd. signed a performance-based non-revenue water (NRW) reduction agreement with Perumda Tirta Musi (PDAM Palembang) in Indonesia, as part of the Inclusive Business Solution (IBS) program supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).

The three-year project will cover approximately 32,000 households in the Rambutan district of Palembang. The primary objective is to significantly reduce NRW through the deployment of WI.Plat’s AI-powered smart water management system.

What makes this project unique is its performance-based structure: revenue generated from reduced water losses will be shared between PDAM Palembang and the WI.Plat Consortium, which consists of WI.Plat and its local partner, Supra Internasional. This arrangement enables both parties to benefit from the project’s success and supports the implementation of a sustainable water management model.

Mr. Andi Wijaya Adani, President Director of PDAM Palembang, shared his thoughts on the agreement:
“It is a great honor to partner with the WI.Plat Consortium on Indonesia’s first performance-based project using an intelligent NRW management system. We hope to gain valuable knowledge on innovative water loss reduction strategies through this collaboration.”

WI.Plat CEO Mr. Sanghoon Cha added:
“While this project is made possible with the support of KOICA, it is especially meaningful to WI.Plat as our first official partnership with a regional water utility in Indonesia since entering the market four years ago. We will devote our full capabilities to making Palembang a leading city in smart water management.”

Ir. Ahmad Rosyid, CEO of Supra Internasional, also expressed his commitment:
“We will provide our full support and active involvement in all local operations based on WI.Plat’s technology. We are determined to contribute to the project’s success.”

WI.Plat is also planning various initiatives to support the Indonesian water sector. In particular, the company will collaborate with PERPAMSI (the Indonesian Water Supply Association) to establish an NRW Training Center, aimed at enhancing the technical capabilities of local water utilities.

Furthermore, WI.Plat intends to expand the application of its smart water management system beyond Palembang to other regions, creating sustainable water management models and delivering real, measurable improvements to local communities.

Through this agreement, WI.Plat aims to further expand its smart water management initiatives in Indonesia, enhance water service efficiency in the Palembang region, and deliver improved water services to local residents — in close collaboration with KOICA.
