Zulkarnain, the Head of the Investment and Integrated Licensing Services Office (DPMPTSP), shared that investment in Rejang Lebong during 2024 reached IDR 1.116 trillion, surpassing the initial target of IDR 900 billion. This investment came from various sectors, including hospitality, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and non-SMEs. Looking ahead to 2025, the investment target is set at IDR 1.3 trillion, with several large investors poised to enter the region. These include a cruise business from Lubuklinggau, South Sumatra, operating in Tasik Malaya Village, North Curup, and a geothermal energy project in Air Meles Atas and Sumber Bening Villages in Selupu Rejang. A survey by the state electricity company (PLN) for the geothermal power plant has already been completed, with plans to begin construction in 2025.

In addition to facilitating investment, DPMPTSP is working on regulations to support these developments, including a regional regulation (Perbup). Zulkarnain emphasized the office’s role in streamlining the process for investors looking to invest in Rejang Lebong. DPMPTSP is also committed to improving public service quality, with 21 service counters currently available on the ground floor of the Public Service Mall. Future plans include relocating the Dukcapil services to the first floor and expanding service offerings, including a digital library corner to better serve the community.
