TARAKAN - President Joko Widodo will make a visit to the District of Peso, Bulungan, North Kalimantan, tomorrow, Thursday, 19 December 2019. Jokowi will overlook the progress of the Kayan Hydro Energy hydropower project.
"The president will visit and inspect the Kayan Hydro Energy hydropower plant at the infrastructure development point and dam I at around 13.30 WITA," said Kayan Hydro Energy Operational Director, Khaerony, in Tarakan, Wednesday, December 18.
The point that the President will visit via this helicopter is the location of the infrastructure to support the construction of the Kayan Hydro Energy hydropower plant. Starting from the office, mess, warehouse and roads.
"The president's arrival has a big meaning for us. The hope is that the president will also provide support, at least about the permits that are still in the process for us to complete. His arrival is also a support for the provincial government and society in general. For licensing, it is almost complete, it is around 90 percent today, "explained Khaerony.
Khaerony added that currently the supporting infrastructure development process has been running for two months. However, the process is not without obstacles.
Of the total road needs of 20 kilometers, the construction has only reached 4.5 kilometers. The obstacle is that there are rocks that have to be blasted to build the road.
For this development, PT Kayan Hydro Energy has deployed 12 units of heavy equipment. Consisting of, 7 units of excavators, 2 units of bulldozers and the rest are dump trucks.
"This heavy equipment is used for road construction work to Dam 1," he said.
It is not an easy matter to send heavy equipment to the construction site of the Kayan Hydro Energy hydropower project. There are many large rocks in the river so that it needs to be deepened by means of dredging. This dredging is so that the river can be used to support unit mobilization and logistics activities. The unit and logistics mobilization traffic temporarily uses the landing craft tank (LCT) through the Kayan river.
Khaerony explained that heavy equipment could not be sent by land because the existing roads and bridges were not sufficient for heavy vehicles to pass.
On the other hand, he added, the construction of the Kayan Hydro Energy hydropower plant received a positive response from the community. This project, he continued, involved local communities because they were also employed as heavy equipment operators, unskilled workers, and others.
This characteristic of the Kayan river is perfect for the Kayan Hydro Energy hydropower plant because of its water discharge which reaches 1,700 cubic meters / second. In addition, the upstream river is also supported by the Kayan Mentarang National Park covering an area of 1.35 million hectares. So, the Kayan Hydro Energy PLTA can not only guarantee electricity in North Kalimantan, but also the construction of the new state capital in North Penajam Paser.
The construction of the Kayan River hydropower plant was marked by a cooperation contract between PT Kayan Hydro Energy and Powerchina International Group which was signed on 31 October 2018. Then, on Thursday 15 August 2019, the two companies signed the project implementation.
The signing was carried out at the KSP office, under the direct supervision of the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP), Moeldoko. At that time, Moeldoko said, the agreement signed covered three national strategic projects in North Kalimantan, including the construction of the Kayan River hydropower plant.
The Kayan River Hydroelectric Power Plant, which is built on an area of 12,000 hectares, is projected to generate an electricity capacity of 9,000 megawatts from five dams built in stages.
The first dam is projected to produce 900 megawatts. Furthermore, construction will be carried out on the second dam with a capacity of 1,200 megawatts, the third and fourth dams which each produce 1,800 megawatts and the fifth dam with 3,200 megawatts.
