Jawa Satu CCGT Plant Operates Reliably, Continues to Support Java-Bali Power Grid
PT Jawa Satu Power (JSP) continues to demonstrate its capacity and commitment to supporting the reliability of the national electricity system through the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the Jawa Satu Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant. As one of the power plants integrated into the 500 kV Java-Madura-Bali (Jamali) interconnection system, PLTGU Jawa Satu plays a role in supporting the electricity supply for communities in the Java, Madura, and Bali regions.
Currently, both units of PLTGU Jawa Satu are operational and serving the needs of the Jamali grid system. Unit 1 has returned to operation after undergoing maintenance. It should be noted that load allocation is fully determined by PLN’s Load Control Centre (P2B).
PT Jawa Satu Power President Director Dwi Murray stated that operational reliability is the company’s top priority in fulfilling its role within the Java-Bali electricity system. “Currently, PLTGU Jawa Satu is operating well and ready to support the system’s needs in accordance with the load settings determined by PLN. The completion of Unit 1’s maintenance ahead of schedule also reflects the readiness and dedication of our team to continuously maintain the reliability of the electricity supply for the community,” said Dwi Murray.
As part of efforts to maintain plant reliability, JSP consistently implements periodic maintenance programmes in accordance with operational standards and industry best practices. Through the hard work of the entire team, Unit 1’s maintenance activities were successfully completed faster than the initial plan, making the unit ready to contribute again to supporting the electricity system’s needs.
JSP will continue to strengthen synergy and coordination with PLN and all stakeholders to ensure the availability of a reliable, sustainable, and high-quality electricity supply for the community. In its operations, PLTGU Jawa Satu runs within an interconnection system, where the loading arrangements for all power plants are centrally managed by PLN through the Load Control Centre (P2B) according to system requirements.
“As one of the largest CCGT plants in Asia, Jawa Satu Power bears a significant responsibility to consistently deliver reliable and efficient operational performance. With the support of the latest generation combined cycle technology and competent human resources, we are committed to continuing to provide an optimal contribution to energy security and the reliability of the national electricity system,” said Dwi Murray.
The operational reliability of PLTGU Jawa Satu is part of the company’s commitment to supporting national energy security and meeting Indonesia’s continuously growing electricity demand. With an installed capacity of 1,760 MW, PLTGU Jawa Satu is one of the largest gas and steam power plants in Asia. The plant also adopts the latest generation combined cycle technology, designed to generate electricity more efficiently, reliably, and in an environmentally friendly manner, thereby providing an optimal contribution to the national electricity system.
