The project activity is a new run-of-river type hydro power plant. Total installed capacity of the project is 210 MW, consisting of three (3) x 70 MW turbines. The project is owned and developed by PT. PLN (Persero), a state-owned electricity company. The project supplies electricity to the connected Sumatra grid. The electricity currently generated by the grid is relatively carbon intensive. The proposed project will increase the utilization of renewable energy sources, in this case hydro energy, by operating a new hydropower plant

A new run-of-river hydro power plant has been established in Sumatra to combat the carbon intensity of the region's current energy supply. This project provides a clean, renewable energy source to the connected Sumatra grid. PT. PLN (Persero), a state-owned electricity company, owns and developed the project. 

Key Highlights:
- The hydro power plant has a total installed capacity of 210 MW.
- The project consists of three (3) x 70 MW turbines.
- The project utilizes the power of hydro energy to generate electricity.
- The electricity generated will replace carbon-intensive power from the Sumatra grid.
- The project is a valuable addition to the renewable energy sector in Indonesia.

The new hydro power plant is an important step towards a more sustainable future for Sumatra. By increasing the utilization of renewable energy sources, this project reduces the carbon footprint of the region's electricity supply. The project is a win-win for both the environment and the community it serves, providing clean energy for years to come.

Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources

210 MW Musi Hydro Power Plant, Bengkulu

This project involved the creation of a new run-of-river hydro power plant with a 210 MW capacity consisting of three 70 MW turbines. The plant was developed and owned by PT. PLN (Persero), a state-owned electricity company, and supplies electricity to the Sumatra grid. By utilizing renewable hydro energy, this project aims to reduce the carbon intensity of the grid's electricity supply.
