Indonesia to tap Java with mini hydropower projects
Play
State oil and gas firm PT Pertamina and PT Tirta Gemah Ripah are working on a three-year project to develop mini hydropower plants (PTLM) in the west of Java.
“Studies will be conducted in a number of locations in Cianjur and Tasikmalaya, both in West Java, each with a potential of producing 4-5 megawatts [MW],” Pertamina gas director Hari Karyuliarto said over the weekend.
“The development of PLTM will be in line with the governments’ target to increase the portion of renewable energy production by 25.9 per cent in 2025,” he said
after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the project.
The MoU was signed by Hari and Johan Romadhon, president director of the West Java administration-owned company.
