PLN will soon build PLTMG Unit Three in Manokwari



PT. PLN (Persero) continues to invest in electricity in West Papua through the construction of the Unit Three Gas Engine Power Plant (PLTMG) in the Andai area, South Manokwari District, Manokwari Regency.
 
PLN Manager for the Customer Service Implementation Unit (UP3) Manokwari Roberth Rumsaur, Saturday, said that the plan for the Unit Three PLTMG construction project to take place in 2023 is a continuation of the investment in PLTMG units one and two which are already operating.

"PLN's 2023 investment plan will rebuild PLTMG Unit Three with a power of 20 MW to increase the supply of electricity for the community, government and business in Manokwari," said Rumsaur.
 
He said that currently the peak electricity load in the UP3 Manokwari area reaches 32 MW out of a total of 46 MW available from three generators, namely one PLTD and two PLTMG units.
 
Rumsaur acknowledged that with a peak load of 32 MW, it was able to serve the community in the Manokwari UP3 area which covers the Prafi plains to parts of South Manokwari Regency.
 
"The peak load or the highest use of electricity at UP3 Manokwari reached 32 MW out of a total of 46 MW, meaning we still have an excess of 12 MW for standby," he said.
 
Roberth Rumsaur explained that the excess of 12 MW from a total of 46 MW is not categorized as electricity reserves but rather on standby power, considering that under normal conditions, the amount of power reserves must be equal to the peak load.
 
"Electricity in Manokwari is not yet in a safe position even though there is a standby power of 12 MW, because under normal conditions, the power reserve should be 32 MW equal to 32 MW of peak usage," he said.
 
But so far there have been no problems because it is anticipated that the generator engine maintenance will take turns so that the generator engine is always ready.

"Hopefully with the addition of 20 MW in the Unit Three PLTMG project next year, it will further increase Manokwari's electrical power capacity so that normal reserves can be met," said Rumsaur.
