For those who are engaged in power plants development, I would like to share the following points with regard to the above subject. Good luck.
Electricity Condition
Demand for electricity in Papua ia
supplied by Papua
electricity system consisting of Jayapura, Biak, Sorong, Merauke,
Manokwari, and Timika systems. Peak utilization in 2011 reached 159.40 MW.
Total installed
capacity of power plants in Papua up to 2011 was 246.67 MW
consisiting of Diesel Power Plants 242.27 MW and Hydro Power Plants 4.40 MW. In 2011, electricity sale
for
Papua reached
828
GWh.
Energy Potentials
Papua is estimated to have hydro power potentials for 49 MW, coal for 128.57 million tonnes, thermal for 75 MWe in 3 locations namely Makbon, Ransiki, and Kebar, oil for 94.93 MMSTB, and natural gas for 24.32 TSCF.
Electricity Demand Estimate
It is
projected that demand for
electricity in
Papua for the period 2012-2031 shall grow averagely by 13.6% per year so
that in 2031 electricity
need is expected to reach 11.2 TWh. To fulfill peak
utilization growth of averagely 11.7% per year until 2031, then
additional power of averagely 307 MW
per year shall be needed.
