BALI ELECTRICITY SUPPLY PLAN

         For those who are interested in developing power plants in Bali, I would like to share the following points with regard to the above subject. Warm regards.

Electricity Condition

Demand for electricity in Bali mainly is supplied by Java electricity system through 150 kV underwater cable transmission network. In addition to it, electricity need is also fulfilled by local power plants namely Diesel/Gas Power Plants Pesanggaran, Gas Power Plants Gilimanuk, and Gas Power Plants Pemaron. Peak utilization in 2011 reached 461.78 MW.

Total installed capacity of power plants in Bali up to 2011 was 562.96 MW consisting of Gas Power Plants 355.85 MW, Diesel Power Plants 205.40 MW, Micro Hydro Power Plants 0.03 MW, Wind Power Plants 0.66 MW, and Solar Power Plants 1.02 MW. Total electricity sale for Bali in 2011 reached 3,224 GWh.

                         

Energy Potentials

Bali is estimated to have thermal potentials of 296 MWe, scattered in 5 locations namely Banyuwedang Buleleng, Seririt Buleleng, Batukao Tabanan, Penebel Tabanan, and Buyan-Bratan Buleleng.

                         

 Electricity Demand Estimate

It is projected that demand for electricity in Bali for the period 2012-2031 shall grow averagely by 11.2% per year so that in 2031 electricity need is expected to reach 27.1 TWh. To fulfill peak utilization growth of averagely around 10.9% per year until 2031, then additional power of averagely around 308 MW per year shall be needed.
