The total actual installed capacity of the project is 50 MW, comprised of a 33 MW and a 17 MW turbine, with a predicted electricity supply to the grid of 214,800 MWh per annum1. The project is owned and developed by PT. PLN (Persero), a state-owned electricity company in Indonesia. The project generates and supplies the electricity to the connected Sumatra grid.
