WEST 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. Best regards.

Electricity Condition
Demand for electricity in West Sulawesi is supplied by 2 isolated systems namely Pasangkayu and Mamasa Systems. Peak utilization in 2011 reached 30 MW. Total installed capacity of power plants in West Sulawesi up to 2011 was 6.49 MW, all Diesel Power Plants. In 2011 total electricity sale for West Sulawesi reached 152 GWh.

Energy Potentials
West Sulawesi has thermal potentials estimated at 545 Mwe, scattered in 6 locations namely Mambosa, Somba, Mamasa, Lilli, Riso, and Alu, as well as hydro potentials of 800 MW namely Karama-I.

Electricity Demand Estimate   

It is projected that demand for electricity in West Sulawesi for the period 2012-2031 shall grow averagely by 13.0% per year so that in 2031 electricity need is expected to reach 1.7 TWh. To fulfill peak utilization growth of averagely 12.7% per year until 2031, then additional power of averagely 24 MW per year shall be needed.
