Muara Laboh

Muara Laboh. The Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Plant is currently in commercial operation with a rated output of approximately 85 megawatts and produces a volume of electricity equivalent to what is consumed annually by approximately 420000 households in Sumatra IndonesiaElectricity .

The project will develop geothermal steam resources through production and injection facilities in the Liki Pinangawan Muaralaboh concession area and construct operate and maintain a single power generation unit with a total capacity of approximately 80 megawatts (MW) The concession is located in the South Solok Regency 150 kilometers (km) southeast of Padang West Sumatra.

Development of the Muara Laboh geothermal plant, West Sumatra

As is known the Muara Laboh PLTP has officially operated since last December 2019 For stage 2 of development the company is still negotiating a price with PLN The operation of the Muara Laboh PLTP further adds to the reliability of electricity supply in the West Sumatra region Electricity from this PLTP can power up to 340 thousand households.

PT Supreme Energy Muara Laboh

“Muara Laboh Stage1 COD (Commercial Operation Date) and the plan for Stage2 development represent a very strong commitment of PT Supreme Energy and its international partners towards the development of Geothermal Energy in Indonesia to support the Government of Indonesia achieving 2025 energy mix objective We appreciate the continued supports from the Government PLN and Solok Selatan.

Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Project Location and DevelopmentMuara Laboh Geothermal Power Plant MakeUpPower Generation from The Indonesian Geothermal ProjectOfftake of Electricity Generated by The Muara Laboh ProjectContractors Involved The Muara Laboh Power PlantThe Muara Laboh geothermal project will be located approximately 100km southeast of Padang the capital city of West Sumatera It is a part of the Liki Pinangawan Muaralaboh (LPM) geothermal working license area and is spread over approximately 623ha of land bordered by the Kerinci National Park The geoscientific data and analysis classified the Muara Laboh resource as a hightemperature (240°C or more) resource The proposed plant is expected to make use of the geothermal power generated by the naturally occurring heat within the earth to produce steam to rotate the open cycle steam turbines and generate electricity The renewable energy project will not only provide sustainable longterm electricity to the Sumatra grid but will also avoid significant quantities of greenhouse emissions produced when fossil fuels are used to generate the same amount of electricity The geothermal project is a part of the second fasttrack programme launched by the Government of Indonesia in 2010 to develop 10000MW of new generating capacity Under this programme approximately 4500MW of energy is proposed to be generated from geothermal resources The plant will consist of two turbines of 110MW each coupled with a generator to produce electricity from steam It is to be developed in three phases with the first stage including the development of 70MW The exploration drilling programme encompassing six wells (ML A1 MLB1 MLC1 MLE1 MLH1 and MLH2) was completed by the end of 2013 while well monitoring data evaluation and reserve calculation were performed in 2014 Steam produced using the heat from the geothermal wells will be separated from the waterdominated resource through ‘flashing’ in steam separators After passing through scrubbers the steam will be directed to the steam turbine that is coupled to the generator Any further water present in the steam is separated in a separator (brine) before passing through the turbine The steam passing through the turbine will be condensed and reinjected into the reservoir Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) the Indonesian stateowned electricity utility will purchase the power generated by the Muara Laboh geothermal power project A 30year power purchase agreement was signed in March 2012 Two bidirectional meters including a main meter and check meter located at the substation of Muara Laboh power plant will be used to measure the quantity of net electricity to be supplied by the project to the Sumatera grid Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) was engaged to prepare preliminary engineeringand the project development plan.
