Targeting 27 PLTMG, Government Wants To Attract Investors To Develop Gasification Program
JAKARTA - The government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) continues to attract investors to be involved in the PT PLN (Persero) power generation gasification program.
For this reason, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources together with the Ministry of SOEs and PLN are discussing a strategy in a program that aims to increase the use of clean energy and efficiency in the provision of electricity.
The Director General of Electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jisman Hutajulu, said that the program to convert diesel to gas (gasification) generators will provide great benefits for the country and also meet domestic needs. Through gasification, the use of fuel can be reduced while increasing clean energy.
"This gasification program is planned to target 27 Gas Engine Power Plants (PLTMG) with a total capacity of around 2,269 MW," said Jisman to the media, Thursday, January 25.
Jisman then detailed that the total capacity consists of 25 existing PLTMGs that have operated a total of 999 MW, 1 PLTMG in the construction stage with a total of 120 MW, and 1 PLTMG Huadi cluster in the planning stage with a total of 1,150 MW.
Jisman said the profits of listrk generators using gas include reducing oil imports to maintain trade balance, contributing added value and multiplier effect to the people's economy in the regions, fulfilling the commitment of the Paris Agreement, and fulfilling the energy mix target in the National Energy Policy.
