Cilegon powered by combined-cycle power

Electricity demand in Cilegon (Indonesia) is met by a gas turbine combined-cycle power plant.

Demand for electricity in Cilegon and area is high, being the centre of Indonesia’s heavy and chemical industry with many steel plants and petro-chemical plants operating in the area.

The 740 MW power plant has two gas turbines, a steam turbine, two heat recovery steam generators for two-stage electricity generation.  Using high exhaust temperature from the first gas turbine stage, the heat recovery steam generators produce steam for the second stream turbine stage.

Fossil-fuel based power is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Green power from renewable energy sources emit no or low greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. Green power can include electricity generated exclusively from renewable resources including wind, hydro-electric or solar power – or electricity produced from a combination of fossil and renewable resources. For more information on the generation and use of green power at the local level, please visit www.iclei.org/ccp.

Cilegon is one of seven local governments in Indonesia that are currently Members of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability.  For more information on ICLEI and its activities in Southeast Asia, please go to www.iclei.org/seasia.
