Potential Of Kayan River

Jakarta - The Kayan River is the largest river in North Kalimantan Province. Stretching for 576 km, this river has an upstream of Mount Ukeng which empties into the Sulawesi Sea.

Thousands of people depend their livelihood from this river. But the villages on the banks of the river cannot enjoy electricity all day long.

The hopes of the villagers on the riverbank to get electricity supply have not disappeared. At least until the construction of the Kayan River hydropower plant is over. The Kayan River hydropower plant is projected to produce an electricity capacity of 9,000 megawatts.

Not only guaranteeing electricity in North Kalimantan, the Kayan River Hydroelectric Power Plant is also a supplier for the construction of the new nation's capital in North Penajam Paser.
