Project Developer: PT Indonesia Power (a subsidiary of PLN)
Energy Type: Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Plant. This plant uses natural gas and/or diesel fuel (High Speed Diesel/HSD) to power a gas turbine. The exhaust heat from the gas turbine is then recovered to generate steam, which drives a second steam turbine. This process significantly improves efficiency and reduces emissions per megawatt-hour (MWh) compared to a simple-cycle plant.
Capacity:
- Total Installed Capacity: 1,360 MW (after capacity additions, including Block III)
- Block I: 46.83 MW
- Block II: 302.65 MW (upgraded to 497.25 MW after conversion)
- Block III Addition: added significant capacity to reach a total of 1,360 MW.
Estimated GHG Emission Reduction: This project reduces emissions by increasing the plant’s efficiency. By converting from a single-cycle (gas) to a combined-cycle (gas and steam) system, more electricity is generated per unit of fuel, resulting in lower GHG emissions per MWh.
- Verified Emission Reductions (Block II):
- 2021: 407,390 tCO₂e
- 2022: 377,013 tCO₂e
- 2023: 456,505 tCO₂e
Clean Energy Production: While this plant is not entirely “clean” like solar or hydro power as it still uses fossil fuels, its use of combined cycle technology makes it far more efficient and results in lower emissions than other conventional thermal power plants.
Grid Connection: Connected to the Java-Madura-Bali (JAMALI) grid, which is one of the largest electricity systems in Indonesia. The plant serves as a vital base-load supplier to meet the region’s power demand.
Price: Start from $6/tCO2e
