Pongkor Mini Hydro Power Plant
The Pongkor Mini-Hydro Power Plant (MHPP) is a renewable energy initiative managed by PT Bumiyasa Energi Pongkor. This power plant is planned to utilize the potential flow of the Cikaniki River, located in Pongkor Village, Nanggung District, Bogor Regency, West Java. This strategic location is accessible from Jakarta via a 110.5 km land journey, taking approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Technically, the Pongkor Mini-Hydro Power Plant has a total capacity of 4.30 MW, generated by two generator units, each with a capacity of 2.15 MW. The plant utilizes an efficient mechanical system consisting of a horizontal Francis turbine and a horizontal synchronous generator. Relying on a head height of 131.9 meters and a flow rate of 4.50 m³/s, water is channeled through a 224-meter-long, 1.40-meter-diameter penstock to drive the turbine.
The project has reached a significant milestone with the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) on December 31, 2025. The contract is planned to last for 25 years with PT PLN (Persero). In addition to clear contractual aspects, the project's land status has also received official permits from the Minister of Forestry, thus providing legal certainty for its future operational sustainability.
