The Gunung Salak Geothermal power plant generates
emission free electricity for the Indonesian power grid. Greenhouse gas
emission reductions are achieved through updating its capacities, thus avoiding
the burning of fossil fuel (coal) for the growing demand in Indonesia.
Gunung Salak Geothermal
Power plant uses the natural
resource of Indonesia's underground geothermal activity, by turning heat into
power.
The project activity comprises of a
capacity upgrade of an existing geothermal power plant from 3 x 55 MW to 3 x 60
MW, which generates and supplies electricity to the connected grid, the Jamaliregional grid.
The capacity upgrade is established by:
● Changing turbine diaphragm of unit 1 and 2
● Modifying the gas extraction system or ejector for
unit 3
