Government Will Build Sea Current Power Plants With A Capacity Of 40 MW In These Two Locations
JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) through the Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) revealed that it will build a Pertma Sea Power Plant (PLTAL) in Indonesia.
Quoted from the official Instagram of the Directorate General of EBTKE, @djebtke, it is known that the first commercial PLTAL in Indonesia will be developed with an operational target in 2028 with a capacity of 40 MW and an investment of 0.22 billion US dollars.
"The First PLTAL in Idonesia with a capacity of 40 MW will be developed," wrote @djebtke quoted Monday, June 16.
Based on the Electric Power Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) of PT PLN (Persero) 20252034, this PLTAL will have a capacity of 40 MW and is targeted to start operating in 2028.

The types of PLTAL technology that will be used include:
1. Install Surut Utilizing tidal waves, with 2 types: ups and downs and offshore turbines.
2. Sea Waves Utilizing sea waves with 2 types, namely PLT Waves and Oscillating Water Current (OWC).
3. Solar Power Plant Utilizing ocean currents, with 2 types of turbines: vertical axis and horizontal axis.
4. Difference in Sea Layer Temperature (OTEC/Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Utilizing the difference in sea water temperature, with 2 types: open cycle and closed cycle.
5. Gradient Salinitas Utilizes the difference in salt concentration between two fluids, generally freshwater and sea water.
