CENTRAL SULAWESI ELECTRICITY SUPPLY PLAN

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

Electricity Condition
Demand for electricity in Central Sulawesi is supplied by some isolated system namely Palu, Toli-Toli, Luwuk, Bangkir, Palasa, Moutong, Parigi, Poso, Tentena, Kolonedale, Toili, Kotaraya, Leok, Ampana, Bunta, Moilong, Banggai, and Bungku Systems. Peak utilization in 2011 reached 137,13 MW.
Total installed capacity of power plants in Central Sulawesi up to 2011 was 249.69 MW consisting of Steam Power Plants 30 MW, Diesel Power Plants 201.84 MW, and Mini Hydro Power Plants 17.85 MW. Total electricity sale for Central Sulawesi in 2011 reached 575 GWh.

Energy Potentials
Central Sulawesi has diversified primary energy potentials namely coal, natural gas, hydro, and thermal. Coal potentials are estimated to reach 1.98 million tonnes and natural gas 2.80 TSCF. Hydro potentials are estimated to reach 670.2 MW, scattered in 5 locations namely Poso-1, Poso-2, Lariang-6, Lasoko-4, and Konaweha-3. Thermal potentials are estimated to reach 643 Mwe, scattered in 17 locations namely Maranda, Sapo, Langkapa, Kalemago, Torire, Toare, Pantangolemba, Marana, Bora, Pulu, Sedoa, Lompio, Tambu, Wuasa, Watuneso, Papanlulu, and Ranang. Oil potentials are estimated to reach 49.78 MMSTB.

Electricity Demand Estimate
It is projected that demand for electricity in Central Sulawesi for the period 2012-2031 shall grow averagely by 10.6% per year so that in 2031 electricity need is expected to reach 4.2 TWh. To fulfill peak utilization growth of averagely 10.3% per year until 2031, then additional power of averagely 57 MW per year shall be needed
