Lumut Balai Unit 2, a geothermal power plant in Indonesia, is the subject of an order from Pertamina to Mitsubishi.

55MW of power for Lumut Balai

Lumut Balai is a 55MW geothermal power plant project. The order from the gas company PT Pertamina (Persero) includes a steam turbine, generator and related equipment. It is located in the Indonesian province of South Sumatra.

The consortium includes Mitsubishi Corporation, SEPCO III Electric Power Construction Co, Ltd. and PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk. He will lead the engineering contract and manage the procurement and construction (EPC) of Lumut Balai.

Commercial operations for Lumut Balai are expected to begin in 2024. The geothermal power plant is located about 290 km southwest of the city of Palembang. The project aims to mitigate the effects of climate change and contribute to the government’s objective.

A recognized experience

The target set is 23% of the country’s electricity supply from renewable energy sources by 2025. In addition, PGE receives a yen loan (official development assistance) from JICA to carry out this project. Kazuki Ishikura, president director of the local subsidiary of MHI PT Mitsubishi Power Indonesia, says:

“Indonesia has the second largest geothermal potential in the world, and we are honored to have helped support power plants across Indonesia that tap into this enormous potential – from the Darajat geothermal power plants in West Java, to the Kamojang geothermal power in Bandung and now, the Lumut Balai II geothermal power plant. We are honored to be selected as a trusted partner for Pertamina Geothermal Energy to provide safe and sustainable power to millions of people across the country and to meet Indonesia’s renewable energy goals.”

Electricity demand begins to increase as the economy recovers from the pandemic. The company is focusing its efforts on the construction of new power plants. Mitsubishi Power supplies 6 systems for geothermal power plants in Indonesia.

This represents a combined power of approximately 400MW. The company is able to provide systems ranging from 100kW to 160MW. In addition, it has experience in 13 countries.
