Medan, Indonesia. Universitas Sumatera Utara documented procurement for renewable-energy infrastructure and energy conservation priorities in 2025. They show capital procurement and operating priorities relevant to the energy transition, rather than a confirmed policy on the composition of investment holdings.

The university’s 2025 procurement contract register lists a street-lighting and solar-panel installation contract dated 27 August 2025. Recorded under the Asset Bureau, the contract names CV. Restu Bumi Berkah as the contractor and carries a value of Rp4,702,737,000. This identifies a specific procurement commitment involving solar infrastructure, although the register does not establish project completion or the amount of renewable electricity generated.

Conservation priorities are also documented in the Faculty of Vocational Studies’ 2025 Health, Occupational Safety and Environment Handbook. Its Green Campus section reiterates an electricity-saving target of 20% and encourages efficient lighting and equipment, natural daylight, and switching off electrical devices after use. It also promotes diversification into renewable sources, including solar, wind and biogas.

The handbook connects these priorities with routine maintenance of electrical installations and monthly resource-use reporting. These provisions offer an operational basis for improving campus resource management. They describe conservation responsibilities and reporting arrangements, rather than the composition of the university’s financial investment portfolio.

A university SDGs Center account discussing the 2025 emissions-reduction framework further identifies efficient lighting, controls on cooling-system operating hours, equipment maintenance and a gradual transition towards electric vehicles. The report presents these measures as part of a wider action framework, with monitoring and evaluation intended to support implementation.

Procurement and divestment are different financial decisions. A contract for solar-powered infrastructure concerns how a university purchases and builds facilities. Divestment concerns whether its investment holdings are restricted or withdrawn from industries such as coal and oil. The sources reviewed for 2025 document the first type of activity, but do not identify the university’s investment holdings or an approved rule governing their withdrawal.

The distinction between these activities and carbon divestment is reflected in the university’s 2025 Research and Impactful Innovation Guide. Its SDG 7 indicator table describes divestment as a policy to reduce investment in carbon-intensive industries such as coal and oil. This defines the indicator; it does not constitute an adopted investment restriction.

Taken together, the 2025 sources support clean-energy procurement and conservation priorities relevant to SDG 7. They do not independently verify a publicly adopted 2025 commitment to withdraw institutional investments from coal and oil. Establishing that commitment requires an explicit institutional policy or authorised public statement. Evidence of portfolio changes would then be needed for any separate claim that divestment had been implemented.
